How to Use This Site.
The information on this site is of two orders. 1. Monographs. 2. Articles. In that respect it contains a significant amount of information, which is being continually added to.

Scattered through the many pages you find a �Search this Site' search engine which is provided by Master com. They update the site at fortnightly intervals. Accordingly articles and monographs added after the update will not appear on the site search engine until Master com next updates the site.

Simply type your keyword into the search box, and click search. As an example if one types in the word �Cinnamon' there are currently 41 onsite references to cinnamon. It is all quality information. If one enters �Volatile Oils'  currently it will list 55 documents, or if you enter Essential oils it will list 42 documents which are relevant to your query. Each reference is a link direct to the information. In this way you may add considerable depth to your original query. Alternatively just browse the titles on the bookshelf.

The monographs will provide good introductory information in respect of a specific entity, either as a herb, spice or a derivative, e.g. specific plant parts or a substance which is extracted from a vegetable or Apis (Bee)  source. All of which are used in the preparation of herbal medicines. A plant image thumbnail browser its provided at the bottom right of the main library page. 

The articles will provide information, either specifically, as it relates to production processes. Alternatively the articles will provide information on a wide range of topics as it relates to Herbal Medicine.

If your query leads you to information held by Pub Med or Medline then the following link will take you to an onsite tutorial concerning those data bases.
