Terms of Use
Last updated 19 September 2026
Using the Commons
The Global Wellbeing Commons is an open knowledge resource. By using this site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
Not medical advice
Wellbeink does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The Commons documents practices and what is known about them; it does not recommend them, and it does not tell you what is right for you.
Nothing here is a substitute for professional medical advice. If you are considering a practice that could affect your health, speak to a qualified practitioner first — particularly if you are pregnant, taking medication, or managing a condition.
Licensing
Content published in the Commons is released under CC BY-SA 4.0 unless a record states otherwise. You may share and adapt it, including commercially, provided you give appropriate attribution, link to the licence, and release your adaptation under the same terms.
Some records carry additional conditions set by the communities they describe. Those conditions are shown on the record and take precedence over the general licence.
Contributions
If you contribute to the Commons you confirm that you have the right to share what you submit, and you grant Wellbeink a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish, adapt, and redistribute it under the same open licence.
You keep ownership of your contribution. Attribution is recorded on the record and in its version history.
Accuracy and uncertainty
Every entry shows where its information comes from. Where sources conflict or evidence is thin, the entry represents that disagreement rather than resolving it.
Entries are corrected and expanded over time. A record reflects what was known at the date shown on it, and may since have changed.
Acceptable use
Do not use the Commons to misrepresent a practice, to present its content as personalised medical advice, to remove attribution, or to misuse knowledge connected to a living community.
Automated access is welcome within reasonable limits. We will publish interface guidance for bulk and machine access.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the Commons develops. Material changes will be noted on this page with the date they take effect.
