Our Editorial Mission
Meridian Health Guide helps readers compare at-home wellness products by physical function, practical use, evidence limits, contraindications, and buying factors. We do not provide medical diagnosis or individualized treatment recommendations.
Our coverage includes manual pressure tools, massage devices, heat, electrical stimulation, light-based products, PEMF, gentle movement, and traditional wellness practices. These categories are kept separate because evidence for one intervention does not automatically validate another.
Editorial Responsibility
Published pages are attributed to the Meridian Health Guide Editorial Team. This is an editorial organization, not a claim that every contributor is a physician or licensed clinician. We do not display professional credentials unless they have been verified and are relevant to the content.
The editorial team is responsible for search-intent selection, source review, claim boundaries, internal links, product-category matching, disclosures, and final approval.
How Content Reaches Publication
- A topic begins as a candidate based on existing site coverage, real Search Console signals, reader intent, or a documented editorial gap.
- The topic is checked for duplication, keyword cannibalization, consumer relevance, medical risk, and available evidence.
- A draft is written to a non-public drafts directory.
- Automated checks review required metadata, references, internal links, affiliate mapping, minimum depth, and high-risk wording.
- An explicit editorial approval is required before a separate publish step.
- The site is built and checked before deployment.
- Published pages may be updated using Search Console performance, new evidence, product changes, or correction reports.
Passing automated checks does not prove that an article is accurate. Automation is a screening layer, not an editor or medical reviewer.
Use of AI-Assisted Tools
AI tools may assist with keyword organization, outlines, draft language, internal-link suggestions, and risk detection. AI-generated output is not allowed to publish itself. It must pass the same source, compliance, product, and approval gates as any other draft.
We prohibit fabricated testing, invented quotations, fictional experts, fake user feedback, unsupported rankings, and citations that were not supplied or verified. If first-hand testing is ever performed, the article must describe what was tested, when, under what conditions, and by whom.
Health and Safety Boundaries
Health-related content must distinguish education from diagnosis. Traditional Chinese Medicine language may be explained as a traditional framework, but it must not be translated into a modern diagnosis or a claim that a consumer tool measures or corrects qi, blood flow, nerves, fascia, lymph, hormones, immunity, or cellular energy.
When product-specific evidence is unavailable, content should focus on physical operation, likely sensation, buying questions, contraindications, instructions, and uncertainty.
Commercial Independence
The site may earn a commission from qualifying Amazon purchases. Affiliate eligibility does not establish that a product is effective or appropriate. Editorial pages must disclose affiliate relationships and follow the same evidence and safety standards whether or not a product link can earn revenue.
We do not use a higher expected commission as proof that a product deserves stronger language. Read the full Affiliate Disclosure and Selection Policy.
Updates and Corrections
Articles show a publication date and, when changed, a reviewed or updated date. Material errors, broken sources, inaccurate product mappings, or unsafe claims should be reported through the Corrections Policy.
