Herbal Index

This information on herbs was developed by BHLP faculty members and consultants as an attempt to begin educating conventional health care practitioners about the use of herbs and supplements by ethnic groups in Boston. It formed part of the foundation for Herbal Tours, which began in April 2004, and are day-long postgraduate educational experiences. These tours consist of didactic presentations on cultural healing practices followed by visits to botánicas and conversations with ethnic healing practitioners. This guide also provides recommendations on other sources of herbal information.
