Editorial Policy & Review Standards
How YouAyurveda upholds rigorous clinical integrity, classical textual authenticity, and medical peer-review across all educational publications.
1. Our Editorial Mission
The mission of YouAyurveda is to demystify traditional Ayurvedic medicine by providing clear, trustworthy, evidence-informed, and culturally authentic health knowledge. In an era saturated with unverified wellness trends and pseudoscience, we serve as an uncompromising digital repository of verified classical wisdom and contemporary botanical science.
2. The 4-Stage Medical Peer-Review Pipeline
Every medical article published or submitted by practitioners on YouAyurveda progresses through a strict four-stage editorial review workflow before public release:
Articles are authored exclusively by verified BAMS, MD (Ayurveda) doctors, PhD botanical researchers, or certified Ayurvedic nutritionists.
Our editorial desk verifies Sanskrit herb nomenclatures, Latin binomial names (e.g., Withania somnifera), and dosage safety benchmarks.
An independent senior Ayurvedic physician reviews the manuscript for clinical veracity, contraindications, and potential herb-drug interactions.
Only approved articles receive the emerald "Medically Reviewed" badge displaying the reviewer's full credentials and registration.
3. Classical References & Modern Science Citations
To guarantee academic and clinical rigor, authors must ground assertions in authoritative sources:
4. Commercial Independence & Sponsored Content Segregation
🛡️ Zero Pay-For-Review Policy
We never accept payments or promotional fees in exchange for favorable editorial reviews of herbal brands, pharmaceuticals, or medical devices.
Sponsored brand spotlights, banner advertisements, or commercial directory placements are always prominently labeled with distinct visual badges (e.g. "Sponsored" or "Featured Partner") to ensure total transparency for readers.
5. Corrections, Revisions & Retraction Protocol
Science and botanical knowledge evolve continuously. We maintain active audit routines:
- Immediate Correction: Factual errors, typographical mistakes, or outdated dosage recommendations are corrected immediately upon verification.
- Substantive Updates: When new pharmacovigilance safety data or AYUSH regulatory advisories are published, relevant articles are revised with a "Last Updated" timestamp.
- Retraction: Content found to contain plagiarism, unverified medical claims, or copyright infringement is permanently retracted.
6. Editorial Feedback & Correction Submissions
We welcome clinical feedback from practitioners, researchers, and patients. If you discover a factual discrepancy or citation inaccuracy in any published article:
