New! Natural Standard integrative medicine database is now available through WKU Libraries. Natural Standard lets you find comprehensive, evidence-based, peer-reviewed information on foods, herbs, supplements and natural therapies. Sections include color photographs, history, dosage, interactions, adverse effects, allergies, efficacy, pregnancy/lactation data and mechanism of action. Available evidence is collected from a variety of scholarly sources, summarized, and graded. Patient handouts in English & Spanish & CE/CME programs included.
Natural Standard was founded by clinicians from Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and University of California in response to widespread use of complementary and alternative therapies and lack of reliable sources of information. Monographs undergo blinded review by clinical and research faculty at academic medical centers.
Natural Standard is available on or off campus. You can find it in the Databases list on the Library website, or through the TOPCAT online catalog.
