Incomplete Information

I have used a ton of herb apps as it’s easier to take a phone out into the field then all my books. I have found some apps being very useful but, this app is utterly disappointing. The information in this app is incomplete and seems extremely biased, if I knew nothing about herbs this app would definitely steer me away from using them… unless that is the goal… I would not recommend this app to anyone.

I am a PA in dermatology great resource

I love this resource because it is searchable
and has the science we currently understand about biological resources.

Not loading

This ap is blank and appears to be loading but never can. I have an iPhone SE 2022 model and the most updated OS, I don’t think it’s compatible with newer phones.

Woefully incomplete

This app looks at herbal medicine only through the lens of the allopathic model. Every herb basically has the same woefully incomplete write up and the same caveat that high quality studies are lacking for every herb. Hmm probably because there is no money in studying a whole plant, all we’re interested in here in America is extracting ingredients and making drugs from them that we can then sell at a massive markup. Hard pass on this app.

Typical “ There is no evidence” that this herb does anything

This is your typical herbal list done by medical personnel .They don’t help find out what any herbs are good for. They just want to ward you off of taking any without “ scientific proof” , which there is none of….Because they would be out of business!
