    • Is my patient interested in taking a botanical?
    • Is there scientific evidence to support its use?
    • What is the safety profile of the botanical?
    • Are there any contraindications to use of the botanical?

    Hint: Listen for clues from the patient:

    Can I avoid these Are there any Is there anything


    side effects? cheaper options? else I can try?

    Step 2: Educate
    Discuss the best botanical options that may help the patient:
    • Present scientific evidence
    • Identify risks and benefits
    • Compare with pharmaceutical options

    Step 3: Advise
    Help patients select a quality product and discuss important safety concerns:
    • Suggest what types of products to look for
    • Identify potential side effects and/or safety concerns
    • Provide sources for more information
