Herbs Database
Herb records from traditional-medicine databases: names in several languages, the plant part used, traditional properties and any linked clinical trials, systematic reviews and publications.
Traditional properties describe historical use, not proven effects. Different plant parts and similarly named plants are separate records. For consumer guides to herbs we cover in depth, see Herbs & Botanicals.
