Natural Standard

The Library now has a subscription to Natural Standard, an international research collaboration that aggregates and synthesizes data on complementary and alternative therapies. The information is evidence-based, consensus-based, and peer-reviewed with the aim of aiding clinicians, patients, and healthcare institutions in making more informed and safer therapeutic decisions.

You can search or browse medical conditions or therapies, compare the effectiveness of alternative treatments, and use various interactive tools, including a nutrition database, an interactions checker, calculators, and other tools.

Additional features include a monthly newsletter and an RSS feed.

Natural Standard is accessible through the Library's Databases page.
