See how the app works
A short tour (it loops): search herbs, terms and tools, see your next dose, check your walking and good days, keep up to three named protocols, build from one another member shared, and spot possible herb and medicine clashes. It is free, and you add it to your phone from your browser, with no app store.
- Search herbs, terms and tools as you type
- Dose reminders and a walking chart you can tap
- Up to three named protocols, and share one with members
- Possible herb and medicine clashes, from the site’s own notes
The recording uses example data, not a real person’s records.
