⚠ Warning — known to contain errors
The grades on this page are produced by an automated classifier
cross-referenced against Wikipedia, PFAF, NIH LiverTox, and a small
set of hand-curated entries. The classifier and the underlying
sources themselves contain mistakes, and many herbs in this
database have not yet been graded at all. Always cross-check
any decision about handling or consuming a plant against an
authoritative reference — for example the
NCBI LiverTox database,
the
RHS plant database,
a pharmacopoeia, or a qualified clinician. See
Safety references
for the methodology used here.
