Relief Exchange
Guided by evidence, organised by how you feel
Welcome to Relief Exchange. Search a symptom and see every kind of solution people look for — foods, teas, products, habits and traditional remedies — each with an evidence grade, safety warnings, how long people say it takes, and what others report.
9 common feelings — browse all 209 below
Tap a feeling to see what helps — or search above and browse all 209 concerns below.
Ratings show what people report — e.g. “214 of 268 people said this helped them.” That is not proof something works, and rankings are never sold.
The full directory lives here too — no concern is hidden behind the wheel alone. Browse everything, or narrow by category. Tap a concern to see its solutions below. Prototype data is illustrative — a live version would be reviewed and sourced entry by entry.
Foods, teas, products and habits come first. Pharmaceutical options, where they exist, follow in their own separate section below.
This directory stays free for everyone searching at 2 a.m. Voluntary donations help pay for evidence reviews, safety checks and hosting — and they never affect rankings, ratings, or which solutions are shown.
Prototype only — no payment is taken here. Donations would be optional, with no features locked behind them.
A high “helped” percentage can reflect popularity, expectation, or that people who felt better are more likely to report back. That's why the evidence grade sits above the rating on every card, the total number of reports is always shown, and you can report “didn't help” just as easily.
In priority order, as planned: subscriptions for personal tracking first, honest affiliate links second, donations alongside, and clearly labelled sponsored placements kept outside the remedy lists. None of these change evidence grades or rankings.
A free directory for everyone, plus an optional Plus tier (illustrative ~$4.99/mo): a private symptom & cycle diary, “what helped me” history, saved stacks, reminders, and interaction notes. Your diary stays private — never sold or shared.
Where a solution is a buyable product (magnesium chocolate, a heat pad, ginger chews), a clearly labelled “Where to buy” link may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Labelled every time; a product's position in the remedy list itself is never for sale.
The support box above, shown after a solution has helped — not as a paywall. People who can't pay still get the full directory.
A brand can pay for a clearly labelled “Sponsored” slot like the Peak Altitude example shown right below — its live slot sits on the Fatigue & low energy page, outside and after that concern's graded remedy list, never mixed in among remedies. Descriptive copy only: no evidence grade, no rating, not counted as a solution, and no say over rankings.
Small makers — like an independent magnesium-chocolate brand — could pay a flat fee for a verified page with ingredients and lab transparency. Flat fee only: no pay-to-rank, no better grade, clearly marked as a brand page.
In the full version, anyone could submit a remedy for review — with its source tradition, any studies, and safety notes — before it appears. Try the flow:
