There is growing evidence from the published clinical trial literature that many popular herbs and phytomedicines are safe and effective for a wide variety of health-related conditions -- despite frequent mainstream media stories to the contrary. The size and design of clinical trials vary widely, but the process of pooling them into systematic reviews and meta-analyses often reveals trends towards efficacy that are routinely overlooked or ignored by medical professionals, journalists, and many others. This process – frequently referred to as evidence-based medicine – is sometimes criticized by practitioners of alternative medicine, but it can be useful to gain an overview of the currently available clinical trial literature on a specific herb. This presentation will discuss some of the clinically-documented positive outcomes for many herbs and phytomedicinal products that are popular as dietary supplements and teas in the United States and many other countries.
