Medical research is a minefield of dubious quality, spurious claims and plain bad science. With almost 30,000  peer-reviewed medical journals world wide,  collectively publishing more than 1.8 million articles every year, how does a herbalist go about finding and evaluating reliable and actionable research?

In this lecture we will explore the differences between qualitative and quantitative research and their suitability for herbal studies, the relative robustness of different types of evidence,  understanding cognitive biases, sources and access points for herbalists, CONSORT standards for research design, WHO recommendations and more.

Learn to find, assess and interpret medical research to strengthen your clinical practice and deepen your understanding of how herbs work as healing agents.
