Source Policy
How the guide uses official safety sources, traditional food-culture references, and local topic notes.
What this page clarifies
Source Policy sets the boundary for safe use of this guide. It explains what the site can clarify, what it refuses to decide, and when the page becomes preparation for a qualified professional. Return to the references section and avoid treating source links as personal health evidence.
Direct Boundary for Source Policy
Source Policy answers a trust or safety question before any body-type curiosity. The direct answer is that this site is source-guided and conservatively edited, but it is not presented as professional review, clinician signoff, physician approval, or personal care. The page can explain how sources are used, how claims are limited, what the site refuses to answer, and what information a reader can bring to a qualified professional. That makes it part of the user path rather than a legal footnote hidden after the article. Read first: Source Policy is a source and responsibility page for cultural understanding and safer navigation. The page is strongest when it creates a note or comparison, not confidence that the site has interpreted the reader. Do not use this page for diagnosis, treatment, dosage, personal diet rules, herbs, supplements, medication decisions, urgent symptoms, or delaying qualified care. Next, choose the linked comparison, source, or safety page that matches the original task.
Source Policy should put responsibility before curiosity. The page answers what the site refuses to do before it sends readers back into body-type or food content.
What Readers Can Do With Source Policy
For Source Policy, the useful action is narrow: record context, compare source language, prepare questions, or choose the next educational page. In this article, that means Check which references can support cultural education and which questions require qualified professional review. The reader can write down timing, foods, products, medications, reactions, symptoms, and the exact question they want to ask. A stronger note also says which page raised the concern, which word felt confusing, and whether the topic is still cultural or has become personal. The point is not to leave readers floating in disclaimers; it is to help them decide whether to keep reading body-type and food-culture content or move the question outside the site. Carry forward editorial process as a note beside source policy; do not let it stand alone.
For Source Policy, uncertainty becomes records, source checking, page choice, or question preparation. The action stays reversible and educational. The action turns editorial process into records, questions, or a page choice. The safe action supported here is modest: turn editorial process into a record, a source check, or a clearer question.
What Not to Use Source Policy For
Do not use Source Policy or any other site page to decide diagnosis, treatment, dosage, medication changes, herb or supplement safety, emergency timing, disease management, pregnancy decisions, pediatric concerns, allergy handling, or chronic-condition routines. This list is intentionally plain because vague safety language is easy to ignore. The page belongs in the navigation because users need to see this boundary before interpreting body types, food therapy, quiz results, or reference links. Here, the useful job is to organize questions and expectations without answering personal risk. Plain-language check: describe review limit, then reopen source policy if the meaning still feels broad.

Diagnosis, treatment, dosage, product choice, and delayed care remain excluded. If the reader wanted a private answer, the path stops at the boundary.

Where to Go Next From Source Policy
Return to the references section and avoid treating source links as personal health evidence. If the reader is still learning vocabulary, return to body types, TCM basics, or food culture with the boundary in mind. If the reader is holding a personal concern, use the question-prep page and stop browsing for an answer. If the reader wants to understand how the site works, open editorial process, source policy, and review boundary. A good next path has a clear reason: learn a term, compare a nearby tendency, understand a source limit, or prepare a qualified conversation.

For this page, the small gain is clarity before confidence.

Reader Checklist for Source Policy
Before leaving Source Policy, the useful checkpoint is the exact question, the local cue, the nearby comparison, and the safety boundary. Here, that means turning the page into one plain note, then checking that note against source policy. If the only memory is a broad idea such as "balance," "warming," "cooling," "Qi," "dampness," or "body type," the page has not been read closely enough. A useful note is more specific: what was noticed, when it appeared, which page it resembles, which source boundary applies, and what question remains. This checklist makes the article usable without pretending it can choose a personal routine. Source Policy should leave a vocabulary marker, a context clue, and a next page.

After Reading Source Policy
After reading Source Policy, the next move should match the reader's original reason for opening the page. If the task is still educational, follow the closest linked comparison or source page and keep the note small. If the task has become personal, persistent, severe, medication-related, pregnancy-related, pediatric, allergy-related, or tied to chronic conditions, stop browsing for an answer and turn the page into a question list. This is where source-guided content earns trust: it gives context, comparison, and language, then admits the point where a website should stop. The reader leaves with a path, not a prescription or private conclusion. Use this section to narrow the question, not to expand it into lifestyle advice.

Why this page stays cautious
NCCIH and NIH MedlinePlus frame Source Policy as a responsibility page: the guide can show reference ownership, conservative wording, update expectations, and professional stop-points. Those references explain how to read the site and what to ask next, but they do not create medical, nutrition, clinician, practitioner, or individualized review. The page answers check which references can support cultural education and which questions require qualified professional review. by making limits visible before the reader relies on a body-type, quiz, food, tea, herb, or ingredient page.
Where the page stops
The tension is that trust pages can accidentally sound like authority claims. This page handles that risk by saying what sources can support, what the site refuses to decide, and when a qualified person must own the question. It increases clarity without pretending that the site has professional signoff.

The boundary this page is here to make clear
These answers make the page useful before the longer evidence, safety, and source sections.
Boundary made clear
Source Policy answers a boundary task: Check which references can support cultural education and which questions require qualified professional review. The page is meant to slow the reader before body type, food, tea, herb, supplement, medication, or personal-care questions become self-guided decisions.
What it cannot decide
Source Policy cannot decide whether a symptom is dangerous, whether care can wait, whether an herb or supplement is safe, whether a food change is appropriate, or whether a reader has a body type.
Who needs outside help
Outside help matters for severe, sudden, persistent, unusual, medication-related, pregnancy-related, pediatric, chronic-condition, allergy, mental health, supplement, interaction, or urgent concerns. Those contexts require a person who can ask follow-up questions and understand the reader's full situation.
What to record first
A useful note records the exact question, timing, symptoms or observations, foods or teas involved, medications and supplements, pregnancy or child context, allergies, chronic conditions, and what changed recently. Source Policy reference use and editorial process can be rewritten as plain notes.
Source and review boundary
The site is source-guided and conservatively edited, but it does not claim medical, nutrition, clinician, or practitioner review. Public sources support caution, source transparency, and interaction boundaries.
Next step
Return to the references section and avoid treating source links as personal health evidence. If the reader came here because a page felt like it was telling them what to do, return to that page only after the boundary is clear.
Start with Source Policy reference use, compare source policy, and leave with notes rather than a personal conclusion.
Not for diagnosis, treatment, dosage, product choices, emergency triage, or changing food, herbs, supplements, medication, or care routines.
Those sources do not create a care relationship.
Compare source policy before giving this page personal meaning. Stop if the question becomes personal or sensitive.
The first clue to hold lightly is Source Policy reference use. A reader is deciding how much responsibility and review evidence the site can honestly claim. The job is to check which references can support cultural education and which questions require qualified professional review. Keep source policy open while reading so the page produces a note, comparison, or question rather than a private answer.
Source Policy can be misread as personal guidance or a care channel. The page clarifies limits, source use, and when outside help matters, but it does not provide direct advice, triage, or a practitioner relationship.
Source Policy sends the reader toward Editorial Process, Review Boundary, Resources because source policy and update policy reduce the most likely misunderstanding before any personal decision forms.
