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.

Learning from the accounts
Reported effects
The mother says she could not give it at that time; efficacy and adverse effects are not established.
Attributed origins
Healer-supplied preparation; no ingredient, botanical identification or pharmacological account is given.
Variation and visualization
Keep it distinct from the co-listed কাচুনি and oil; co-listing is not equivalence.
Ce qui reste incertain
The comparison does not certify efficacy, chemical composition, or identity with a named commercial product; co-listed কাচুনি remains unresolved. The exact local শালসা is among a healer’s preparations alongside oil and an amulet, but the ingredients and any received dose are not established.
