Definition
A person who grows, studies, or uses plants, especially medicinal plants, to treat illness or promote health.
Etymology
From Latin 'herba' (plant or grass) plus '-alist' (one who practices or specializes in), creating someone who specializes in herbs.
Kelly Says
For thousands of years, herbalists were the pharmacists of the world—they performed what we'd now call pharmacology and ethnobotany, and many modern medicines like aspirin and digitalis were discovered because herbalists carefully documented which plants actually worked.
