Our Editorial Standards

How Herb To Body creates trustworthy herbal content

Every article/blogpost, herb profile, and product page on herbtobody.com is built on primary research, written to strict FDA/DSHEA claim rules, and reviewed by qualified people before it ever reaches you. Here is exactly how that happens.

Our commitment to you

Information about herbs and your body is health information — and we treat it that way. Our goal is to give you accurate, balanced, and genuinely useful guidance on botanicals and traditional wellness, grounded in evidence rather than hype. We tell you what the research shows, what it doesn’t, and where the honest limits are. We never promise cures, and we never let a sale get ahead of the truth.

The standards behind every page

Rooted in real evidence

We build content from primary sources — peer-reviewed studies, pharmacological data, monographs, and recognized herbal references — not from other blogs. Every botanical is identified by its Latin name and key phytochemistry so you know precisely which plant and preparation we mean.

Compliant, honest claims

All wellness language follows FDA/DSHEA and FTC rules. We use permitted structure/function statements, avoid disease claims, and include the required disclaimers. If a claim can’t be supported, it doesn’t go on the page.

Fact-checked, line by line

Before publishing, each claim is checked against its cited source. Statements we can’t verify are removed or rewritten. Citations that don’t hold up are cut — even when it means a shorter, more cautious article.

Written and reviewed by qualified people

Content is produced by our named editorial team and, where appropriate, reviewed by herbalists and other subject-matter authorities. Bylines are real, and expertise is verifiable.

Kept current

Herbal science evolves. We revisit and update our articles as new evidence emerges, and we date our content so you always know how fresh it is.

Clear and readable

Good information is only useful if you can understand it. We write in plain language, answer your question first, and structure pages so both people and search assistants can find the answer fast.

Our review process, step by step

  1. 1

    Research & Sourcing

    A writer gathers primary literature on the herb — its traditional use, active compounds, safety data, and current studies — and identifies exactly which claims the evidence can support.

  2. 2

    Drafting to Standard

    The article is written answer-first, with Latin nomenclature, sourced references, and only compliant structure/function language throughout.

  3. 3

    Compliance Review

    Every wellness statement is checked against FDA/DSHEA and FTC rules. Disease claims and unsupported promises are removed, and required disclaimers are added.

  4. 4

    Fact-check & Citation Audit

    Each claim is matched to its source. Anything unverifiable is cut or corrected before the page moves forward.

  5. 5

    Expert Review

    Where relevant, a herbalist or subject-matter authority reviews the piece for accuracy and balance.

  6. 6

    Publish & Maintain

    The article goes live with a clear byline and date — then re-enters this cycle whenever new evidence calls for an update.
