Terms of Use
Please read these terms before using Relief Exchange. By using the site, you agree to them.
Not medical advice
Everything on Relief Exchange is general information and shared experience. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Always consult a doctor or pharmacist before trying a pharmaceutical option, and before trying any remedy if you are pregnant, taking medication, or managing a serious condition. If symptoms are severe, sudden, or worrying, seek professional care promptly. In an emergency, call your local emergency services.
Evidence grades
Every solution in the directory carries an evidence grade:
- Studied — there is human research behind it.
- Traditional — it has a long history of traditional or household use.
- Anecdotal — it is mainly reported by individuals, with little formal evidence.
Grades are editorial judgments made when an entry is written or reviewed. Community reports on an entry are experiences, not proof, and they never outrank the evidence grade. Nothing on this site is guaranteed to work for you.
No doses
The directory never gives doses or treatment schedules. Always follow product labels and professional advice.
Your suggestions
When you suggest a solution, you confirm that it is lawful, honest, and does not contain personal information about yourself or anyone else. Suggestions are reviewed before they appear. We may edit, decline, or remove any suggestion, at any time, without notice. You keep ownership of what you write, and by submitting it you grant Relief Exchange a licence to publish it in the directory.
Acceptable use
Do not submit spam, advertising, anyone’s personal information, or claims that a remedy cures a serious condition. Do not use the site to collect information about other people.
Sponsored content
Any sponsored placement on the site is labelled “Sponsored”, sits outside the graded list, and contains descriptive copy only — never efficacy or cure claims.
Liability
Relief Exchange is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. The operator is not liable for decisions made from directory content, or for any harm arising from using it. Links to third parties, such as Ko-fi or product sites, are outside this site’s control and their own terms apply.
Changes
These terms may change. The new version will be posted here with a new “last updated” date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
