herbal
Leafy and medicinal
Herbal describes things made from or relating to herbs, especially plants used for medicinal or culinary purposes.
An herbal remedy or herbal tea uses plant materials rather than synthetic compounds.
As a noun, an herbal is a book describing plants and their uses, particularly for healing—a genre popular from medieval times through the Renaissance.
The word appears frequently in marketing for products positioned as natural alternatives: herbal supplements, herbal shampoo.
