The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.

KTKP records the origin species as Alisma orientalis (Sam) Juzep (= Alisma plantago-aquatica var. orientale Samuels). It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Alisma orientale. Literature searches for this herb also cover Alisma orientalis — the same taxon appears under several names. The nomenclatural discussion for this herb was flagged for correction during verification; only the verified facts are shown here, with the details in docs/HERB_NAME_RESEARCH.md.

Safety

auto-proposed · unreviewed

  • 4 adverse-event or toxicity record(s) were found. This only flags that literature exists — read the abstracts to decide between "caution" and "harm confirmed".
  • 2 interaction-related record(s) are retrievable. This flags that literature exists — it is not an interaction checker (§3.4).
  • The KTKP record states the following traditional contraindication: 신허정활자(腎虛精滑者)와 임병(淋病)과 수종(水腫)이 신허(腎虛)로 인한 자(者)는 복용을 기(忌)한다.

Adverse-event and toxicity literature

This is not a finding of harm — it lists literature that is retrievable. Read the papers to decide.

Interaction literature

This lists literature that is retrievable — it is not a judgement that an interaction exists. Read the papers to decide.
