Your health, rooted in tradition.
Explore Zimbabwe and Southern Africa's herbal knowledge — searchable remedies, safety-checked, and grounded in both ethnobotanical wisdom and scientific evidence.
Quick Access
Symptom Checker
Describe how you feel — get informational guidance on remedies and when to see a professional.
Remedy Library
Search 30 plant profiles by ailment, ingredient, or common name — in English, Shona, or Ndebele.
Safety Centre
Drug interactions, pregnancy warnings, toxic plants, and emergency poison protocol.

Symptom Checker
Informational only — not a diagnosis. Add your Anthropic API key in Settings for AI-guided reasoning; without one, this uses direct corpus lookup.
Ingredient Encyclopedia
My Remedy Journal
Personal and private — saved to your account only, persists across sessions.

Favorites
Practitioner Directory
Curated, static listing — real entries, searchable and filterable. Submit additions via Settings.
Community Remedies
Coming in v2 — needs a backend
Community-shared remedies require a real database so submissions and moderation persist across everyone using the app. This single-file version can't do that honestly, so it's not built yet — rather than fake it with a form that doesn't save. Use your personal Journal tab for private tracking today.
Find Near Me
Sample supplier and clinic locations for demonstration — Zimbabwe map view.
Safety Centre
Settings
Health Profile
Saved privately. Used to show more relevant warnings — this filters what's highlighted, it does not unlock new content or change corpus data.
Manage current medications in Safety Centre → My Medications — that list is used together with this profile.

AI Provider — Symptom Checker
Without any provider connected, the checker uses direct corpus keyword lookup — this is real, tested, and works fully offline. Connecting a provider below adds AI-guided reasoning on top of that same corpus.
CHIKARA Sovereign API is not yet live. This will be CHIKARA's own hosted AI endpoint, run on infrastructure we control rather than a third-party provider. Until it launches, select a provider below and bring your own key, or continue using the offline keyword checker — both are fully real today.
Data & Storage
Your journal entries are saved to your account and persist across sessions. Nothing else in this app is saved between reloads — role, favorites, and chat history reset on refresh.
