Trust & evidence
Editorial & evidence policy
The rules we use to keep a large wellness resource useful, honest, attributable, and clear about what is known versus merely plausible.
Last substantively reviewed: July 9, 2026
People first, search second
Every page should help a real visitor compare, find, evaluate, or operate something. We do not publish keyword permutations merely because a URL can be generated. Local comparison pages require more than one listed option; otherwise we consolidate the answer into a richer city or studio page.
Evidence language
We distinguish established, supported, emerging, mixed, limited, anecdotal, and not established evidence. Mechanism is not the same as outcome, association is not causation, and a clinical indication is not permission to extend the claim to a wellness use.
Health and safety boundaries
Praxium content is educational and operational, not diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, or individualized medical advice. Contraindications and safety notes are prompts for professional review, not a substitute for it.
Sources and freshness
We prefer primary research, systematic reviews, government or regulator material, professional guidance, manufacturer documentation for product specifications, and first-party business sources for location facts. We do not change dates just to appear fresh. A modified date should reflect a substantive review or correction.
Directory verification
A Praxium verification badge means the business and listing details were checked using public business data and, for claimed pages, confirmed with a representative. It is not a medical credential, safety certification, or guarantee of service quality.
Commercial relationships
A studio or manufacturer may become a customer or partner. Payment does not buy a false claim, fabricated review, or undisclosed ranking advantage. Sponsored, affiliate, or co-marketing relationships must be labeled where they affect the page or recommendation.
AI assistance
AI may help organize research, identify missing fields, draft structure, or check consistency. It is not treated as a source. Factual claims must be grounded in traceable source material, and high-risk health language requires human review before publication.
Corrections and contributions
Businesses can claim or update their pages, and readers or partners can flag an error through the relevant listing or partner form. Material corrections should update the underlying record and any affected pages, not just hide the visible symptom.
See something that needs correction?
Studio operators can use the claim flow; manufacturers can use the partner form. Include the affected URL and the primary source that supports the correction.
