I've been studying Western Herbalism, TCM & Ayurveda for years, so I built the tool I always wished existed, and I'm sharing it for free
I've spent years going back and forth between thick reference books, scattered apps, and handwritten notes trying to connect the dots between Western herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda. Every tool I found only covered one tradition, and none of them thought the way a practicing herbalist actually thinks.
So I finally just built it myself. It's called Herbal Oracle and I want to be upfront, this is something I made because I genuinely needed it, not because I'm trying to sell you something. It's completely free, no ads, no subscription, no data tracking, and it works offline.
It covers 331+ medicinal herbs across all three traditions. You can search by symptom, body system, energetics, taste, or temperature. You can build and calculate custom formulas, track your herb inventory, log your healing journey, and follow condition protocols. There's also a seasonal calendar synced to TCM and Ayurveda based on your hemisphere.
There is an AI component I want to be transparent about, it’s a plant photo identifier and an herbal consultant you can ask about dosages, contraindications, and traditional concepts. I know AI is a loaded word right now, but it was built specifically to support traditional herbal frameworks, not replace the wisdom behind them.
I'd genuinely love feedback from this community, since you all know this world better than most. What's missing? What would make it more useful for your practice?
