Fact-Checking Policy for DesiDose.in

At DesiDose.in, we are committed to delivering trustworthy and reliable health and wellness content to our readers. This commitment is underpinned by a rigorous fact-checking policy, ensuring all our articles, remedies, tips, and guides are as accurate and helpful as possible.

Accuracy in All Our Content

The trust of our audience is the foundation of DesiDose.in. We strive for due accuracy—not only meeting high editorial standards but also presenting information with clarity, balance, and relevance to your wellness journey.

We ensure our health tips, Ayurvedic remedies, fitness suggestions, and lifestyle content are based on:

Trusted medical sources
Expert opinions
Published research and clinical studies
Government and institutional health portals

We distinguish between facts, opinions, and editorial interpretations. When uncertainty exists in scientific or holistic knowledge, we clearly state it.

Editorial Guidelines to Ensure Accuracy

To uphold accuracy and accountability, our editorial team follows these practices:

Every piece is written or reviewed by a trained content specialist or health editor.
We verify medical claims and wellness recommendations with reputable sources (like WHO, Ministry of AYUSH, PubMed, etc.).
If a piece is based on anecdotal experience or traditional knowledge (like Ayurveda or Yoga), we clearly mark it as such and cite historical or textual origins.
In case of errors, we update and notify our readers transparently with a clear timestamp and correction notice.

Verifying Our Sources

We follow a stringent sourcing process:

We cross-check information with at least two credible references.
When only one source is used, we evaluate its credibility, reputation, and transparency.
We prefer primary sources like clinical studies, certified practitioners, or institutional guidelines over blog reposts or hearsay.
When quoting health surveys, we explain how the data was collected and interpreted.

Use of Anonymous or Expert Sources

In rare cases where anonymity is needed (e.g., whistleblowers, practitioners requesting privacy), we:

Assess the reliability and motive of the source.
Work with editors to determine what details can be disclosed to maintain transparency.
Disclose to readers that anonymity was requested and why.

Right to Respond

We offer individuals or organizations mentioned in our content the opportunity to respond, especially if the reporting may affect their image or reputation.

We also encourage reader feedback or correction requests via the “Suggest a Correction” link available at the end of each article.

We take special care in verifying:

Content submitted by users, contributors, or external sources.
Social media posts or viral wellness trends — especially those making strong health claims.
We do not endorse or promote unverified user claims and clearly label such content accordingly.

When we use material from social platforms or external sources, we:

Confirm its authenticity through reverse image search, timestamp verification, or contacting the original source.
Distinguish rumors or opinions from facts, particularly in fast-evolving wellness topics.

When We Make Mistakes

We take responsibility for any errors and commit to:

Rectifying factual mistakes swiftly.
Publishing correction notices or updates on the same article page.
Informing readers of what changed and why.
