From St. John’s Wort to Butchers Broom

With the popularity of herbs, botanicals and other natural remedies continuing to explode, a unique web-based resource recently launched by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center will help fill the information gap for both medical practitioners and the general public.

The web resource includes monographs on 135 agents, providing clinical summaries of each, as well as the purported uses, mechanisms of action, adverse reactions, drug interactions and links to scientific research and critiques. The website provides invaluable information for physicians that is comprehensive and current, and will be continually updated by the Chief of Integrative Medicine at MSKCC and a pharmacist and botanicals expert.
