An herbalist is a professional trained in the use of herbs, also called crude drugs or botanical medicine to treat others. Professional herbal designations include the American Herbalists Guild Registered Herbalist (AHG)[4] or the NCCAOM Diplomate in Oriental Medicine from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine[5] or the FNIMH of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. [6] Lay herbalists and traditional indigenous medicine people generally rely upon apprenticeship and recognition from their communities in lieu of formal schooling.
Herbalists may engage in wildcrafting or cultivation of herbs, as well as diagnosis and treatment of conditions or dispensing herbal medication. Most herbal traditions depend upon constitutional analysis of the client, treating the patient instead of the disease.[7][8]
