Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database

Does garlic act to lower cholesterol?  Does St. John’s Wort
relieve depression?

The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database was created by a group of pharmacists and physicians responding to the need for up-to-date clinical data on natural medicines, herbal medicines, and dietary supplements. The research and editorial staff of the Pharmacist’s Letter and Prescriber’s Letter evaluate natural medicines by the same scientific criteria used to evaluate prescription and non-prescription drugs.

Search by product or brand name, by condition or disease, or by interaction. The evaluations include references to medical literature which are linked to the PubMed article abstract.
