What does HERBAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Made from or relating to herbs, especially those used in cooking or medicine.
Herbal products range from soothing teas to remedies and cosmetics, and the word promises a plant origin rather than a laboratory one. It does not by itself prove that a product is safe or effective, since plant extracts can act strongly on the body. As a noun, an herbal is also an old book that lists plants together with their uses, a kind of manual that doctors and gardeners relied on for centuries.
