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

KTKP records the origin species as Lycium chinense Mill.. It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The same drug appears under 5 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 1 other separately registered drug(s) (Lycii Radicis Cortex), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Lycium chinense. 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.

        auto-proposed · unreviewed

        • 6 adverse-event or toxicity record(s) were found. This only flags that literature exists — read the abstracts to decide between "caution" and "harm confirmed".
        • The KTKP record states the following traditional contraindication: 외사실열(外邪實熱)이 있는 자(者)나 비록 자니성(滋膩性)은 적다고 하나 비허습체(脾虛濕滯) 또는 장활(腸滑)의 경우는 모두 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.
