What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Cautions1
Vamyesha may be poisonous or not; the footnote says the kind eaten by birds is known to be free of poison, because birds do not eat the poisonous kind.
Safety

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, children, older adults, kidney or liver disease and other medicines all call for professional advice before any traditional remedy is used.
