Our editorial method and sources

A health and wellness information site should be judged by its method. Here is ours, in public: if an article breaks it, tell us at admin@tech-bharat.com.

1. Our sources

  • Scientific studies: searched in PubMed and verified on Crossref (title, authors, journal, year). They are linked by their DOI or PubMed record, never by a bare search page. We always state the study type: controlled trial, observational study, case series with no control group, animal or in-vitro study. These levels of evidence are not equal, and the text says so.
  • Classical Ayurvedic texts (Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridayam): they describe traditional uses, not proof of effectiveness.
  • Health authorities (FDA, NIH, WHO, EFSA, French ANSES) for warnings, interactions and regulatory status.

Current status: 581 of 1030 articles cite at least one publication linked by DOI or PubMed. The others describe traditional uses and are being reworked progressively, starting with the most-read pages.

2. Separating tradition from evidence

“Tradition attributes…” signals a classical use. “A study suggests…” signals modern data, with its limits (small sample, concentrated extract, animals). “No data” is written when that is the case. A result obtained with a concentrated extract is never presented as valid for a tea or a kitchen spice.

3. Safety first

Every article on a herb or product has a precautions section: known drug interactions, pregnancy and breastfeeding, children, medical conditions, quality and possible contamination. Our safety guide gathers this information.

4. No promises, no fake reviews

No content promises to cure, to make you lose weight or to replace a treatment. Pages titled “review” do not report user opinions: they summarize what studies and tradition say, and what to watch for when buying.

5. Dates and corrections

Every article shows its publication date and, if reworked, its real update date. We publish little and update rather than pile up: at most one new article a day, on a question readers actually ask.
