Herb Resources + Research articles

Came across these sites while doing another search - may be of use to someone

:

1. HerbMed - From this site itself: "HerbMed® - an interactive, electronic herbal database – provides hyperlinked access to the scientific data underlying the use of herbs for health. It is an evidence-based information resource for professionals, researchers, and general public."

http://www.herbmed.org

2. Alternative Medicine Foundation: "The Alternative Medicine Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, founded in March 1998 to provide responsible and reliable information about alternative medicine to the public and health professionals."

**I liked their resource section, especially the "Making Sense of Medical Research" section (explains some terminology & scientific methods & experimental design in research articles) & their Women's Health Resource Guide. In both of these sections they suggest a number of books for further reading.**

Scarlet & other mods:

I thought I'd post the website in the Complementary/Alternative Med directory in the 'PCOS Resources' section but can't seem to do so. I thought that'd be a good place to post it. I wasn't sure if only board admins/mods were the only ones allowed to add links there or what.....
