Terms of Use

Educational resource — not medical advice

AyurRaksha is an informational and educational resource about Ayurvedic plants, traditional preparations and botanical research. Content is not medical advice, diagnosis, prescription or treatment, and should never replace care from a qualified practitioner.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AyurRaksha and its contributors are not liable for any decision made, or action taken or not taken, based on content found on this site. Plants can interact with medications, be misidentified, or be unsafe in your specific situation — consult a qualified practitioner before any therapeutic use.

Disclaimer & Educational Notice

All information on AyurRaksha — including plant profiles, traditional preparations, classical references and research summaries — is provided for educational, historical and scientific research purposes only. This applies to every plant described on the portal, including botanicals whose compounds are legally restricted or controlled in some jurisdictions.

Nothing on this site promotes, encourages or facilitates the use, cultivation, preparation or consumption of any illegal or controlled substance. We do not provide medical advice, and no content here should be treated as a recommendation to use any plant therapeutically. Before exploring any traditional practice, research the legal framework that applies in your own jurisdiction and consult a qualified medical professional about risks, contraindications and your personal circumstances.

Intellectual property

The portal's written content, plant profiles, imagery and design are owned by AyurRaksha or used with attribution. Classical texts quoted on the site belong to the public domain; their translations and commentary presented here remain ours. Personal, non-commercial use with attribution is welcome.

Affiliate and commercial disclosure

Some shopping links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, AyurRaksha may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commission never influences which products we list or how they are ranked — recommendations are quality- and evidence-led. Consultations and marketplace listings are paid services provided by independent practitioners and businesses, who remain responsible for their own services and conduct.

Consultations and marketplace

Practitioner consultations booked through the site are provided by the listed expert, not by AyurRaksha. Payment is processed securely by Stripe; bookings are subject to each expert's availability and cancellation terms shown at booking. B2B marketplace listings are supplied by independent businesses — verify specifications, certifications and compliance before entering any trade relationship.

Changes and governing terms

We may update these terms as the site evolves; the 'last updated' date above will change and significant updates will be highlighted on the site. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed in line with the laws of Singapore, without prejudice to your mandatory consumer rights. Questions? Reach us via the Contact page.
