About The Herbal Medicine Garden
Who publishes The Herbal Medicine Garden, how the guides are made, how health information is handled, and how the site earns money.
The Herbal Medicine Garden has guides to growing medicinal herbs at home and to traditional ways of preparing them, such as teas, syrups, tinctures and salves.
Who publishes it
The Herbal Medicine Garden is published by Worlds Enough Studios.
How the guides are made
The guides are researched, drafted and fact-checked by AI: specifically by Claude Opus, an AI model made by Anthropic. That’s the name in each guide’s byline, with a nickname for this site, “the Garden Scribe”. It’s a label, not a person. Older guides on the site have been revised the same way. Worlds Enough Studios sets the editorial direction: which herbs and methods to cover and the rules every guide follows.
- Sources. Growing advice comes mainly from university extension services and horticultural organizations. Food-safety steps come from extension food-preservation guidance. Each claim links to its source so you can check it.
- Checks. Every draft is fact-checked against its sources and goes through separate review passes for accuracy, clarity and safety before it’s published.
- No testing claims. The guides don’t claim personal experience. When a guide describes a situation, it’s an illustration, not a real case.
- Updates. When a guide is substantially revised, its modified date changes. Small fixes such as typos don’t change it.
Health information
This site is for education. It doesn’t give medical advice, and its guides aren’t reviewed by a doctor, pharmacist or herbalist. Guides don’t make their own health claims for herbs. When a guide mentions a traditional use or a safety caution, it says which authority said it, for example the European Medicines Agency, the NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, or Memorial Sloan Kettering. Before you use any herb for your health, especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, giving it to a child or taking medicine, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
