Natural Medicines systematically evaluates scientific data from the fields of complementary and alternative medicine, synthesizing and organizing the material into peer-reviewed and evidence-graded monographs. Monographs are provided at both the professional and consumer level to promote both informed clinical decision-making and patient education.

Includes over 1,400 monographs
and ratings on over 185,000 commercial products covering functional foods, herbs, and supplements, critically reviewing the safety, efficacy, pharmacology, and contraindications of natural treatments and products. Searching by indication, comparative efficacy charts analyze and systematically grade the effectiveness of conventional and alternative treatments for the prevention and management of diseases. Evidence tables examining the reliability of current literature are provided as well.

Other online features include an interactive symptoms checker, online health calculators as well as databases on genomics, environmental resources, and health and wellness.

To find patient information handouts from the database, first browse for your appropriate subject term and select it; then choose the flashcard or bottom-line monograph option from the list of resources that appear.
