Weal is a personal study of traditional medical languages — TCM, Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Kampo, Sowa Rigpa, Western herbalism, and the Greek humoral lineage. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace a licensed clinician. Never stop a prescribed medicine because a plant has a story. If you are in danger, call emergency services; in the US, 988 is the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
