Natural Medicines

Tutorial on Natural Medicine's databases and tools.

Search and Advanced Search

Search is located near the top of the Natural Medicines homepage and in the top right corner of all consecutive pages.

Advanced Search is available to the right of the search box. That page is still based on a keyword search, but limits the areas of the website that are searched by internal database.  

The Advanced Search is set up to automatically search every part of the website. To eliminate whole databases, uncheck the boxes at the top of the page. To eliminate specific aspects of the search, like effectiveness or food interaction, uncheck the boxes beside individual sections.

There is also a select/deselect all option for every database for for easy use.
