Dear list members
I thought you might be interested in this ICDP rerport, issued recently
*Herbal Medicine in the Treatment of Addictions Report *
The use of herbal medicine goes back thousands of years. Although there
have been sporadic claims about its use in the treatment of addictions,
specific evidence of its efficacy is hard to find. With that in mind, an
international expert group was convened to examine issues such as
efficacy, safety, usefulness, toxicity and side effects of the herbal
substances in the treatment of addictions
This project brought together, for the first time, a group of
international experts to consider a number of areas of interest,
including existing evidence, lessons learnt from herbal medicine in
other health conditions, gaps in knowledge and opportunities for future
development
