Disclaimer

Last updated: November 10, 2026

Everything on this site, in our books and guides, and from Ask Babushka is educational information. It is not medical advice and does not replace a doctor, pharmacist or other health professional.

Herbs and medicines

Herbs and home remedies can interact with medicines and can be unsafe in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, for children and for people with some health conditions. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before you use any remedy, and never stop or change a prescribed medicine without your doctor. Never use a home remedy instead of care for a serious illness.

In an emergency, call 911

If someone has trouble breathing, chest pain, signs of a stroke, a severe allergic reaction, or may have swallowed something poisonous, call 911 or Poison Help (US 1-800-222-1222, Canada 1-844-764-7669) first.

Wild plants

Never eat a wild plant unless you are 100% sure what it is. Many have deadly look-alikes. Check with a local expert.

Tradition and research

Labels in the book (Tested, Trusted, Skip) summarize published research and long traditional use as of 2026. Traditional use is history, not proof. Results vary from person to person, and we can't promise any result.

Ask Babushka

Ask Babushka is an AI helper, not a doctor or pharmacist. It can make mistakes. Check anything important with a qualified person.
