Catalogue

Herbs

Search in Czech, Latin, or by an alternative name. Combine filters by distribution, harvest month, plant part in harvest records, processing method, and topic — the same topics appear in the symptoms overview.

Start with a simple query in the field below, or pick a month, plant part (from harvest records), one or more processing methods (OR logic). For topics you can narrow to traditional and spiritual links, or to scientifically framed references on the card. You can also filter card content: stronger scientific evidence vs. orientational notes and the presence of a traditional / spiritual section.

Tip: try "chamomile", "Melissa officinalis", or a combination of month + part + tea / tincture

Main filters

Harvest month

Includes herbs whose harvest record covers the chosen month (including ranges that cross the year). If you also pick a plant part, one harvest record must satisfy both.

Plant part (harvest)

By the plant part recorded for the harvest window on the card. Without a month, it is enough if the herb can be harvested in that part in some month.

Distribution region

Advanced filters (topics, science, processing…)

Use and topics

Topic (link to herb)

Same topics as in Topics. Without a selection, topics do not apply in the catalogue.

Link type for the topic

Traditional includes spiritual links; scientific means a study-backed link; pick culinary, cosmetic, and aromatherapy separately below.

Symptom severity on the topic (optional, multiple)

By symptom severity on the topic–herb link. With a topic chosen above you narrow a specific link; without a topic, any link at the checked severities applies.

Mild / manageable discomfortModerate distressMarked distress (informational framing — not a care level)

Traditional / spiritual records

Requires at least one published record in the traditional / spiritual section on the card.

Only herbs with this layer on the card

Spiritual facets on the card

Requires at least one published record with one of the selected aspects. Any checked label among the selected options is enough. Independent of the "layer on the card" checkbox above.

Science and safety

Scientific evidence on the card

Based on scientific study records on the herb card. "Stronger" means preliminary through strong levels or a review — not only "unspecified" or purely narrative text.

Minimum evidence strength (only with "stronger science")

Applies only when "at least one stronger level" is selected above. The default matches earlier behaviour; tighter steps require a higher strength in those records.

Study type on the card (optional)

Requires at least one published study record of that type on the herb card.

Safety level for the herb (optional)

One specific catalogue value, or use the "prominent safety warnings" preset above for several levels at once.

Processing methods

Processing method on the card (multiple allowed)

It is enough if the card lists any of the chosen methods. Method explanations: processing catalogue.
