HerbMed® - an interactive, electronic herbal database - provides hyperlinked access to the scientific data underlying the use of herbs for health. It is an impartial, evidence-based information resource provided by the nonprofit Alternative Medicine Foundation, Inc. This public site provides access to the 30 most popular herbs.
HerbMedProTM, an enhanced version of HerbMed®, provides access to the entire database (218 herbs) with continuous updating using Dynamic Updates, and is available for subscription and licensing or multi-user subscriptions from the American Botanical Council.
I'll admit, I only tried the 30 day free trial, I couldn't afford the full price. However, I loved my free trial so much I asked for a membership for Christmas! The information available even through the free trial is astonishing. There's so much information available on the different uses of herbs. Now I don't consider myself a real novice in herbal medicine, but even I was amazed at some of the uses I didn't know. That being said, if you've got the money try it out! Or just check out the free trial.
Honestly, I used to laugh at herbal treatment, but after I found no cure for intense allergies and constant aches and pains, I had no other choice. When I first learned of herbal medicines, I had no idea how large the market actually was, and how many people were willing to sell you herbal products. Thats where HerbMed comes in. This herbal database narrows down the search for particular ailments, and it also helps you to find the right treatment for you particular condition. You can learn anything and everything you ever wanted to know about any type of herbal treatment on the market today. I've even let a few friends try some research on it, and they love it as well. I am only 19 years old, but I do let my mom's friends at work, who are enthralled by herbal medicine, look through it from time to time. Great Product!
I love this site and use it frequently to educated myself on the common and uncommon uses of specific herbs. You can click on the alphabet letter you want to look under or search by name. What you get is access to both the common names and scientific names so you are sure you are looking at the right herb. Then you are linked to a site where you will learn everything you ever wanted to know about that herb. The cost is $45.00 a year or you can now pay $9.95 for two days of access to all of their information. They always have free access to 31 herbs a day too. I would recommend this site to anyone who wants to learn about herbs and how they can help them in their lives. It may seem pricey, but the amount of data just can not be beat. Plus, the free 31 a day covers most commonly used herbs anyway.
