Website to research natural remedies

Are you using herbal and “natural” remedies?

There are both useful and useless so-called “natural” remedies.  Some have been used successfully for years and even centuries.  Others are simply benign compounds with no proven benefit.  Still others can actually be detrimental.   If you choose to use these remedies, it’s prudent to know as much as possible about what you’re ingesting. 

Kaiser Permanente recently published the link below for the use of the general public.  It’s not their website, but it appears to have a comprehensive listing of homeopathic remedies that allows the consumer to search and discover more about hundreds of compounds.  I’m re-posting it here for your convenience.

Please stay informed and act intentionally when using any type of medication or medicinal substance.
