What is an herbalist?
Technically: a health care professional or layman who dispenses or recommends plants with the aim of relieving that persons suffering.
This designation is open to wide interpretation among interested groups. Bottom line: anyone can call himself an herbalist. What separates the grain from the chaff is the quality of work and the relief gained by the treated.
Positives of the field:
No governmental or regulating bodies. Like the West before it was tamed. The field's strength is due to its understatement and misunderstanding. Like a humble street fighter - he'll likely win over the strutting black belt.
Negatives of the field:
Filled with kooks and hippies. Sharks and hustlers abound.
