Terms of use
The conditions for using this reference, including the limits of the information and the licence for the text.
By using Herb Ledger you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Purpose of the site
Herb Ledger provides general horticultural information about growing, harvesting, drying and storing medicinal herbs. It is an educational reference, not a health service, a pharmacy, a medical practice or a foraging identification service.
No professional relationship
Reading this site does not create a doctor–patient, pharmacist–patient or practitioner–client relationship. Nothing on the site is a diagnosis, a prescription, a dose or a treatment plan. Always consult a qualified professional about your own health, medicines and pregnancy status.
Accuracy and changes
We work from the sources listed on each page and update profiles when we find a material error. Horticulture is local: hardiness, harvest dates and pest pressure vary with climate, soil and cultivar. The site does not warrant that any statement is complete, current or suitable for your conditions.
Intellectual property
Original text, layout and illustrations on this site are © Herb Ledger. Photographs retain their own licences and are credited on the image credits page. You may link to pages, quote short passages with attribution, and print pages for personal use. You may not republish substantial portions, scrape the site for a competing product, or use the text to train a commercial model without written permission.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to disrupt the site, probe it for vulnerabilities, or use automated tools to copy it at scale. Do not misrepresent the site's content as medical advice or as a substitute for professional care.
External links
Links to third-party sources are provided for reference. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Herb Ledger is not liable for loss or damage arising from reliance on the site, including harm from misidentification, improper preparation or use of a plant. You are responsible for confirming the identity of any plant and for seeking professional advice before use.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws applicable at the operator's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
