When reviewing the visitor log files for the Herb Health Guide site I was surprised to see just how popular the herb case studies are. We have assigned a couple of dozen basic clinical case studies to randomly appear on several pages that each introduce several individual herb pages.
My view is that no web page should exist unless it contains some meaningful content. I chose a structure for the site that distributed the details for each of 95 (so far) herbs to groups based on an aphabetic list. That meant I needed an introduction page for each of the seven groups.
Each case study provides quite brief details about the treatment, progress and outcome for individuals with various conditions. The case study pages may be found here:
- Herbs A and B: From Agrimony to Burdock [1]
- Herbs C: From Calumus to Corn Silk [2]
- Herbs D to F: Dandelion to Flax [3]
- Herbs G to J: Garlic to Juniper Berries [4]
- Herbs L to M: Lady Mantle to Myrrh [5]
- Herbs N to R: Nettles to Rosemary [6]
- Herbs S to Y: Sage to Yellow Dock [7]
The cases are quite diverse. They include: acne, angina, asthma, chilblains, constipation, cramps, cystitis, eczema, glandular fever, gout, headaches, hemorrhoids, infertility, laryngitis, mouth ulcers, painful menstruation, premenstrual tension, enlarged prostate, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and tonsilitis.
The aim is to demonstrate the variety of conditions for which herbs are useful, the elements of a treatment plan and the non-herbal components that support the overall approach. If you visit any of the above listed pages you will see a case randomly assigned to the page. They are quite brief but certainly do add meaning and usefulness to the pages introducing various herbs.
