 Medline Plus: Herbal Medicine
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/herbalmedicine.html#cat57

>From the world of Aloe Vera to yohimbe, this site leaves no herbal
medicines
unexplored. As part of the Medline Plus omnibus site which was created by
the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health,
this particular section covers many aspects of the world of herbal medicine.
First-time visitors will want to start by looking over the background essays
on the use of botanical dietary supplements offered from the Office of
Dietary Supplements. After that, they should browse through sections that
include "Basics", "Learn More", "Research", and "Reference Shelf". They can
also just scroll down through the homepage, which includes overviews on the
use of different herbs and supplements. Those persons looking for the latest
information about research findings on herbs and topical treatments can look
within the "Latest News" listings, which are updated frequently. Researchers
will appreciate the inclusion of a "Clinical Trials" area which provides the
latest information about ongoing clinical trials that draw on various
aspects of herbal medicine. [KMG]
