Sources and approach
Each topic lists its sources with title, publisher and link. Numbered references in the text lead to that list. A source name alone does not prove a particular statement: inspect what was actually measured and in whom.
What does research show?
Human research is not automatically conclusive: design, size, dose and comparison group matter. Animal and cell research can explore a possible mechanism but cannot establish a health effect in people. Traditional use describes a history, not effectiveness. Even a positive result can remain uncertain or not apply to other groups.
Missing or conflicting evidence and safety uncertainties should be clear in the article. Discuss medical decisions with a healthcare professional.

General information, not medical care
HealthDictionairy is an information website, not a healthcare provider. Its articles do not provide a diagnosis, prescription, treatment plan or personalised nutritional or medical advice. They do not replace assessment or care by a qualified healthcare professional.
Do not use this website as the sole basis for decisions about your health or delay necessary care because of it. Do not start, change or stop treatment or medication solely on the basis of this information. Discuss herbs and supplements with your doctor or pharmacist, especially when taking medicines, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an existing health condition, or for children. For a potentially life-threatening situation, seek emergency help immediately through your local emergency number.
Research does not guarantee an individual outcome
Research findings concern particular participants, preparations, doses and circumstances. A positive finding does not guarantee effectiveness or safety for every reader. A stated dose is not personalised guidance. Natural does not automatically mean safe; foods, herbs and supplements can have adverse effects and interactions.
Source checks and updates
The information is checked against the cited sources. They are not clinician-reviewed. Errors, omissions and outdated information may remain despite these checks. We do not guarantee complete, error-free or continuously updated information, or uninterrupted availability. Check the original source and discuss personal applications with a healthcare professional.
External websites and statutory rights
Links point to sources or additional information. Third-party websites can change and are outside our control. A link is not an individual recommendation of a product, treatment or provider.
This disclaimer explains the website's purpose and limitations. It does not provide an absolute exemption from legal liability or override rights and obligations under applicable law.
