For an exhaustive collection of information on the attributes of specific medicinal herbs (of special interest to practitioners and students), visit the online home of the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia™. Reknowned physician-writer-lecturer-researcher Dr. Andrew Weil has done much to popularize viable nature-based alternatives to allopathic (Western) medicine. His "Ask Dr. Weil" website is an excellent source of advice and information. The site offers information about botanical remedies (see "Herbal Medicine Chest"), provides a guide to finding local practitioners (see "Practitioner Search"), and offers lively and informative responses from Dr. Weil to questions from site visitors. An excellent general source for online information about medicine, health and wellness, OnHealth.com also provides some helpful background on herbs and alternative medicines. The site includes a compendium of common medicinal herbs (see "Herbal Index"), as well as interesting articles ("Chinese Herbs," "Herbal Therapies," "Acupuncture," and "Discussing Alternative Medicine"). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland constitute the federal government's primary committment to (and sponsorship of) medical and health research in the United States. NIH's National Center for Complementary & Alternative Medicine is both a supporter and clearinghouse for research into Traditional Chinese Medicine (as well as the use and effectiveness of medicinal herbs).
