Safe messaging for media

- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.

Attributed origins
Healer-supplied preparation; no ingredient, botanical identification or pharmacological account is given.
Variation and visualization
