Medical Disclaimer

What Bhealthy is

Bhealthy is a small online wellness store. We stock natural health products, herbal extracts, and complementary medicines, and we share information to help you understand what you’re considering. We’re not a medical practice, a pharmacy, or a healthcare provider.

What Bhealthy doesn’t do

We don’t diagnose medical conditions. We don’t prescribe treatments. We don’t provide medical advice for individual situations.

Our role is to share what suppliers, traditional sources, and current research say about the products we stock — not to tell you what to take, and not to replace the care of a qualified medical practitioner.

Where medical care comes from

For any medical condition — diagnosed or suspected — the right first step is a qualified medical practitioner, not a natural health store. This includes ongoing management of chronic conditions, acute health concerns, medication changes, and any symptom you’re worried about.

If you’re currently taking prescribed medication, talk to your prescribing doctor before adding or changing anything.

Where personal wellness guidance comes from

For wellness questions that need your individual context — your history, your goals, your situation — we can connect you with a qualified practitioner registered under the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa. See our Practitioner Guidance page.

Bhealthy itself doesn’t provide personal wellness guidance. There’s only so much a website can do for individual decisions.

Working alongside medical care

Many people use complementary and natural products alongside conventional medical treatment. 

If that’s you:

• Tell your doctor what you’re taking. Some products can interact with prescribed medication.
• Don’t stop or change prescribed treatment based on information from our site.
• If you’re managing a serious or chronic condition, keep your medical practitioner informed about wellness products you’re considering.

In an emergency

Bhealthy is not equipped to help with medical emergencies.

If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately. In South Africa, dial 10177 for ambulance services, or 112 from a mobile phone. Or go directly to your nearest emergency room.

Don’t delay seeking emergency care to look up product information.

The information we share

Information on Bhealthy’s site is educational.

See our Educational Disclaimer for detail on what that means.

If our information conflicts with what your doctor has told you, follow your doctor.
