Herbal medicines are those with active ingredients made from plant parts, such as leaves, roots or flowers. But being "natural" doesn't necessarily mean they're safe for you to take. Just like conventional medicines, herbal medicines will have an effect on the body, and can be potentially harmful if not used correctly.

I'm going to leave it like this for right now until I explore it more, but thus far I do like it.

If you don't know the Latin name, you're screwed right off the bat. This gives an indepth -read, WAY TOO MUCH- info on any given plant. It would take FAR TOO LONG to find the info you need or want. But, this is the ONLY app I've seen that tells what other apps are used and why. We NEVER see the names of the info gatherers.

Really loved this app. Paid for ad-free version as well. Worth the money in my eyes. My only struggle is I REALLY wish it was a bit easier to search for a plant using basic common names as well as being able to adjust for only plants in your area. Adding a location option would up this by a star. If you know how to read and are educated well enough, this is a very clear and concise app. Pretty easy UI but not fancy and complicated.
