Herbal medicine and health research – September 2014

In September the following research on herbs and health has caught my eye.

1. A new report in the USA has highlighted the need for doctors to have better education in nutrition.

2. A recent study found that bayberry reduced inflammation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

3. A review of the research on honey has shown that its use is growing in a clinical setting as an antimicrobial agent.

4. A recent study in the USA has found that the practice of mindfulness can be used to treat migraine.

5. Ginger supplements were found to be effective in helping diabetic patients maintain blood sugar levels.
