Are you a health professional?

Natural Standard is offering free a Webinar for you to learn more to help your patients.

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has grown in response to efforts by patients to take a more active role in their health care.

Patients spend over $58 billion dollars annually on natural products and alternative treatment therapies which has brought attention to the existence of a knowledge and communication gap for health care professionals with respect to being able to properly counsel patients about these treatments.
