A recent survey of subscribers (80% physicians and most of the remaining respondents were pharmacists) to the journal Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin indicated that they believe 75% of physicians are poorly informed about herbal medicines. These results were published online April 8, 2010.
If you would like more information on herbal medicines check out the Natural Standard data base available through the Library Without Walls (http://smhweb/display/48.nws) under “Complimentary and Alternative Medicine”.

This data base has an A – Z listing of Foods, Herbs, and Supplements that will provide you with in-depth, evidenced-based information on herbal medicines including uses, dosing recommendations, scientific evidence, safety, interactions, and references.
