Natural Standard

From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA


Overview[edit]

Natural Standard is a comprehensive database that provides evidence-based information on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It is designed to help healthcare professionals, researchers, and the public make informed decisions about the use of natural products and therapies.

History[edit]

Natural Standard was founded in 2000 by healthcare professionals and researchers who recognized the need for reliable information on CAM. The database was developed to address the lack of standardized, evidence-based data on natural therapies.

Content[edit]

Natural Standard offers a wide range of information on various herbal medicines, dietary supplements, and other alternative therapies. The database includes:

  • Monographs on individual natural products
  • Evidence-based reviews
  • Interaction checkers
  • Clinical management tools

Methodology[edit]

The information provided by Natural Standard is based on a systematic review of the scientific literature. The database uses a grading system to evaluate the quality of evidence for each therapy, ranging from "strong scientific evidence" to "unclear or conflicting scientific evidence."

Applications[edit]

Natural Standard is used by healthcare professionals to:

  • Assess the safety and efficacy of natural products
  • Identify potential drug interactions
  • Educate patients about CAM

Access[edit]

Natural Standard is available through subscription and is used by medical schools, hospitals, and pharmacies worldwide.
