The remedy shelf
What the traditions say
One shelf, many traditions. Pick a remedy and read what each guide knows about it, in the words their tradition uses. Then ask the guide, or ask the whole network.
This is the old knowledge, not health advice. Check everything yourself before you use it.
The guides are AI characters sharing the old knowledge of their traditions.
