Sites for herbal products

[Dr David R. Woodward]

The US National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine - part of
NIH - has a detailed website covering  complementary and alternative
medicines, including herbals.

The URL is
http://nccam.nih.gov/nccam/resources/

This has several useful resources.  In particular, their citation index - a
resource in the style of Medline (and darwing on the resources of medline) -
covers 180,000 articles on comp and alt med, dating from 1963 to present
day.  To access it, go to:

http://nccam.nih.gov/nccam/resources/cam-ci

It doesn't always have the trade/proprietary names of products, which can be
a disadvantage at times.
