Google about alternative, herbal and Chinese medicine. If the website is selling something, they use sales talk. Search for actual information on medicines. FDA is a good website to start.

The most definitive source for alternative medicine information is the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database. This is what doctors and pharmacists use to determine possible side effects of all sorts of herbal and natural products.
