Why a hub is never split into diagnoses

The eleven hubs below are the only concern-level division on this store. Each holds every format together — the thailams worked into the skin, the kashayams and tablets taken by mouth, the powders bound into cloth and warmed. A hub is never split further into named conditions, because someone arriving with a sore knee should see the whole shelf before deciding what kind of thing they want.

Where a hub is large, chips narrow it by where on the body a preparation is used, or by how it is taken — never by diagnosis. Counts are shown so you know what you are walking into. A product may sit in more than one hub, so these totals will not add to the catalogue.

Which way in to take

1. If you know the trouble — Pick the hub that matches it. The shortest route, and the widest: nothing is filtered out before you see it.
2. If you know the form — Shop by Type divides the same catalogue by what a preparation is, for anyone who already knows they want an oil, or will only take a tablet.
3. A hub is not a prescription — The grouping reflects classical use, not a diagnosis. Where a preparation is taken by mouth rather than rubbed in, the collection page says so.

Always read the label and directions on the pack you receive, and speak with your physician before starting anything new — particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, managing a health condition or taking prescription medicine.
