How we check a remedy
- Tradition
- What families, hakeems and classical texts say. Described as tradition, never as proof.
- What we know
- What the evidence actually supports today, in plain words.
- What isn't clear
- Where the research is thin or mixed. We say so rather than guess.
- Cautions
- Who should skip it or check with a doctor first: pregnancy, children, medicines, allergies.
