The Natural Standard database was founded by clinicians and researchers to provide high quality, evidence-based information about complementary and alternative therapies. This international multidisciplinary collaboration now includes contributors from more than 100 academic institutions.  For each therapy covered by Natural Standard, a research team systematically gathers scientific data and expert opinions, and validated rating scales are used to evaluate the quality of available evidence. This information is incorporated into comprehensive monographs designed to facilitate clinical decision making.

Four free Natural Standard webinar training sessions are scheduled for May.
