About WellOrganic Health (.in.net)

What we publish

Eight sections: everyday nutrition, Ayurveda in cultural and research context, evidence-checked home remedies, skin and hair care, movement and fitness, sleep and stress, seasonal health, and health myth-checks.

The subject matter is not unusual. What we do with it is.

Why this publication exists

Indian-language health content online has a quality problem that is easy to describe and hard to fix. Search for almost any symptom in Hindi and you will find confident claims that a kitchen ingredient resolves it. Those claims are usually unsourced, frequently illegal under Indian advertising law, and occasionally dangerous — because somebody reads them and postpones seeing a doctor.

The obvious response is to dismiss traditional practice entirely. We think that is also wrong, and it does not serve readers who grew up with it. A household remedy for a sore throat is not the same kind of claim as a cure for a serious disease, and treating them identically helps nobody.

So we do something narrower and more useful: we say what is actually known. Every remedy carries one of five evidence labels, from “well-studied, benefit supported” to “studied and not supported”. Where the honest answer is “this is cultural practice with very little clinical study”, we say that, and it is not a criticism.

How we work

Medical review is blocking

Every health-substantive article is reviewed by a named practitioner with verifiable credentials — an Ayurvedic physician, general physician, registered dietitian or dermatologist depending on the subject. Reviewers are named publicly with their qualification and registration number, and they can decline to approve an article.

This is enforced mechanically. An article in a health-substantive category cannot reach published status without an assigned reviewer whose status is “approved”. A policy that relies on everyone remembering is not a policy. See how we review.

We publish no cure claims

India’s Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954 prohibits advertising any remedy as curing the diseases in its Schedule. We comply, and we enforce it with a pre-publication screening pass that blocks such content across Hindi, English and Hinglish. Details at DMR Act compliance.

Both languages are first languages

Hindi articles are written in Hindi. English articles are written in English. Neither is a machine translation of the other, and the two editions do not always carry identical articles — some topics matter more to one readership than the other.

We sell nothing we write about

No supplements, no ingestible-product affiliate links, no consultation fees, no clinic referrals. A publication that sells what it evaluates cannot be trusted to evaluate it. Our advertising policy lists what we refuse.

The myth-check desk

Our most distinctive section corrects false health claims circulating on WhatsApp, social media and in this very content category. Each myth-check states the claim, where it circulates, what the evidence shows, an explicit verdict, and the risk of believing it.

The claims we correct are frequently the same claims that fill similarly named websites. That is deliberate.

Who we are not

Several websites and one publicly listed company have names close to ours. We are not any of them. Our brand disambiguation notice names each one and states plainly that we have no affiliation with it, and points you to them if that is what you were looking for.

Where any common ownership exists with another property in this name space, it is disclosed there and here. We take the view that undisclosed common ownership of near-identical properties misleads readers.

Corrections and contact

We correct publicly at our corrections page, and health-substantive articles are re-reviewed annually with a visible “last reviewed” date.
