What Al Attar will and will not claim
The claims policy is the discipline that keeps education honest. This page teaches what counts as a permitted claim, what does not, and why.
سياسة الادعاءات هي الانضباط الذي يحافظ على صدق التعليم.
By the end of this lecture you should be able to read any sentence on an Al Attar surface and tell whether it is a permitted educational statement, a labelled traditional use, or a forbidden medical claim.
Learning objectives
Why claims discipline matters
A single careless sentence can convert education into a medical promise. Once that line is crossed, the user, the regulator, and the brand all lose. Claims discipline is the rule that prevents that crossing.
- An educational statement teaches.
- A traditional-use statement reports cultural context.
- A medical claim promises a clinical outcome — and is never permitted on any Al Attar surface.
The claims review framework
Layer 1 · Subject
Who is the sentence about? A herb in general, a tradition, or a specific Al Attar product?
Layer 2 · Verb
Does the sentence use educational verbs (describes, traditionally used) or medical verbs (treats, cures, prevents)?
Layer 3 · Outcome
Does it imply a clinical outcome on the human body? If yes, it must be removed or rewritten.
Layer 4 · Evidence label
Is the evidence ceiling stated? A linked study is not a substitute for a stated ceiling.

Permitted vs forbidden
Key concepts
Educational statement
A sentence that teaches a fact, definition, or context without promising a clinical outcome.
Traditional-use statement
A reported cultural or historical use, always labelled as tradition.
Medical claim
A sentence implying diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or cure. Never permitted.
Evidence ceiling
The strongest thing a source is allowed to support — always stated.
Safety boundary
The line beyond which a user is told to consult a professional.
Product separation
External research and Al Attar product information are kept on separate surfaces.
Applied example
Ginger sentence review
- Draft
- Ginger reduces nausea.
- Subject check
- Subject is a herb; sentence implies a clinical outcome on the human body.
- Verb check
- 'Reduces' is a medical verb when applied to a symptom.
- Outcome check
- Clinical outcome (nausea) is implied without an evidence ceiling.
- Rewrite
- Ginger has been studied for its traditional use in digestive contexts; readers can review search results on PubMed and NCCIH.
- Decision
- Rewrite published. Outbound research search provided. No product claim made.

OpenFAQ
Are you allowed to say a herb is 'good for' something?+
No. 'Good for' implies a clinical outcome. We use educational verbs and link out to research.
Can a traditional use be presented as evidence?+
No. Traditional use is reported as tradition, never as clinical proof.
Why don't you cite specific PMIDs?+
We do not invent identifiers. We link out to live database searches so the reader sees the current record.
Where can a regulator review your wording?+
Every page carries a review status and last-updated date; the wording is auditable.
