Trusted Reference Websites of our Herbalist Practitioner Members

LaurieLovesLearning · November 2020

I would like this thread to be available to our Certified Natural Health Practioner members only, so that we have a solid list of websites to easily reference as we build our knowledge.

There are so many websites that claim to be safe & trustworthy, yet may not be. It is easy to be fooled and so, we need to be very careful. This subcategory was suggested with safety in mind.

*TGN is not necessarily endorsing any of the suggestions to follow, but is making them available for your consideration.*

Thank you in advance for your contributions. We all appreciate you and your willingness to share your knowledge & resources with us. 🌱

Here are a few of my references which I trust. First of all the monographs of medicinal plants. There are the ones developed by World health organisation

https://www.who.int/medicines/areas/traditional/nis_monograph/en/

Then the ones developed by the European Union Medicines Agency

I also like Encyclopaedia of medicinal plants by Jorge D. Pamplona Roger
