Kai Chow - I have recently found a few articles in journals that can be accessed through Medscape (you have to signup to Medscape, but it's free). These articles are very interesting with regard to herbal medications.
The best of these is by Varro Tyler ( author of "The Honest Herbal"). It can be viewed at:

Also, a couple by Susan Murch are good:

and

A couple more to read, if you get bored with these are at:

and

and
http://www.medscape.com/PP/Pharmacotherapy/2000/v20.n07/pharm2007.22.rive/pharm2007.22.rive-01.html
Now, if this hasn't kept you busy enough, I found a white paper on herbal products. Check out Appendix 2: Sources of Information on Herbal Medicines and Alternative Therapies contain both english and non-english peer-reviewed (and not peer-reviewed) journals; databases; and websites at:
http://www.medscape.com/PP/Pharmacotherapy/2000/v20.n07/pharm2007.23.accp/pharm2007.23.accp-01.html
I'm sure the answers to your questions will be contained within one of these publications. Good luck and happy reading - Cam
