Question: If a person mixes herbs to make medicines what are they referred to as!?
Answers:
Many things!. Depends on the context of the usage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If mixing herbs is all they do, they would be an herbalist!.

However, many other health practitioners use herbs as part of their healing modality, notably practitioners of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Naturopathy, and Ayurveda, among others!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

all of the answer are correct as far as labeling, however, even a phamacist compounds chemicals and herbs, this person is a compounder!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In the terms of my heritage they are usually called a "granny" by the mountain folk, A Bracher or browner by the Pennsylvania Dutch or simply an Apothecary by the English!. Peace&Love be with you!.!.!.~M~Www@Answer-Health@Com

I believe it's called naturopathy, so a naturopathologist, perhaps!? Naturopathy is the medical name, so I'm sure there's a much simpler name for them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
