Effective Plants in Products

Here you can find what is generally "privileged" information, documented evidence, of the capacity and virtue of useful plants and products.

There is an abundance of written and oral information about the traditional use of herbs as folk medicine, but what about the corroboration of trials and studies to help a practitioner sort it all out?

Much of this valuable information is not available for the general public.
Medical journals publishing information that can give us advantageous and practical insight are largely restricted to the medical community of professionals or researchers with expensive subscriptions or on-line password accessibility.

If you don't have time to experiment when addressing a discomfort or illness, and the timing of the application impacts the result, you need an arsenal of substantiated information that will guide you to make the best treatment decisions. Information that takes out some of the guesswork.

Clinical Studies

We have summarized and referenced results from research, clinical trials and studies that are often invisible to the general public, behind the closed doors of the medical community.

This section is continually updated and compiled to be a wealth of information that every herbalist should be privy to as we educate ourselves with the use of alternative medicine.

It is prudent to say that a wise approach, when considering the use of medicinal plants, is of course to consult educated health care providers along with the educational resources you will find here.
