Index of Herbs

The living index

Plants, arranged the way they grow.

Each node is a monograph. The spiral uses the same golden angle plants use to pack seeds—so the index is not a grid, it is a garden you can search.

No plants match that search.

How to read a monograph

Index of Herbs is being rebuilt as a reference, not a shop. Each plant page follows the same spine so you can compare history, chemistry, use, and harm.

  1. 01

    History

    Who used it, and what the aspirin-from-willow story actually means.

  2. 02

    How it works

    Named constituents without pretending milligrams of bark equal a drug.

  3. 03

    Uses

    Tradition beside the size of the evidence, including empty claims.

  4. 04

    Safety

    Who should not take it, and which medicines do not mix.
