Research & Editorial Approach
Ava's editorial process is designed to keep traditional-use information, ingredient science and finished-product claims separate. When researching an article, she aims to use peer-reviewed literature, primary studies, systematic reviews and authoritative health sources where they are relevant to the question being discussed.
- Identify the evidence type. Laboratory, animal, observational and human clinical studies are not treated as equivalent.
- Distinguish the tested material. Evidence for an isolated compound, extract or raw herb is not automatically attributed to a finished QICAOGANGMU formula.
- Separate TCM from biomedical conclusions. Traditional concepts are explained as part of the TCM framework rather than presented as modern scientific diagnoses or mechanisms.
- Keep citations close to claims. Important scientific statements are linked to the supporting study or authoritative source where practical.
- State limitations. When evidence is preclinical, indirect, based on another formulation or otherwise limited, that distinction is identified in the article.
- Revise when stronger evidence becomes available. Content may be updated when newer research, safety information or better-quality evidence materially changes the interpretation.
Editorial Role & Professional Scope
Ava's role is research and health-content writing. She reviews published literature, organizes evidence, examines ingredient research and develops educational content for QICAOGANGMU.
She does not present herself as a physician, dermatologist, pharmacist or registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. Her articles are not a substitute for diagnosis, individualized treatment or advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Where an article discusses a medical condition, prescription treatment, pregnancy, children, severe symptoms or other higher-risk situations, readers are encouraged to seek appropriate professional medical advice.
