Mitchella repens is referred to as squaw vine, and sometimes root, as are some of the Trilliums. It varies a lot by locale. That's why botanical nomenclature is so important when dealing with herbs - and if you can learn the common name, you can learn the Latin one! -- Sue Smith, CPM MA -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Cheri Van Hoover Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 11:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Herbal References, was Re: Choices This is a common problem when discussing herbal preparations using common names. A great deal of confusion can exist with different herbs being called by simlar names. The only way to really avoid this is to use the scientific names, and most people are unwilling and unable to do this. Next message: Lynn D.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
