Just idle curiosity: here (the UK) the H at the beginning of Herbal is practically always pronounced as such, and so "a herbal" is the usual form. Indeed, my Oxford Reference Dictionary gives only this pronunciation. Do Americans pronounce the word as "Erbal"? Loganberry ( Talk) 14:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
This may be unprecedented in Wikipedia (but all things were at some point), but I changed it to A[n] so as to compromise between the two pronunciations of "herbal" in text format that is at least used. To many people "a herbal" is a typo and will begin an edit war. While my solution may appear a bit messy, it is not unusual to see brackets [] in text and is the best solution in my opinion. I await the establishment to undo my revision and denounce me as a moron without giving a moment to think about the practicality of my solution.-- Metallurgist ( talk) 00:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
For those that watch this page I am flagging the fact that I have a rewrite of this article in progress. So that its appearance in a few days is not a complete shock, the work in progress can be viewed here. Please make suggestions on this page for additions, amendments etc. to the rewrite before it is put up in real time. Granitethighs 21:12, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Greeting, I have signed up for this review. I'll make uncontroversial copyedits as I read it, and bring any other issues up here. Should have some comments up in a day or three. Sasata ( talk) 20:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Here's some starter comments. I plan to read again more thoroughly and checks the sources after you've had a chance to address these comments.

Sorry about the delay, I tend to get distracted a lot :) About the Latin derivation, I would just move that sentence from the lead into the history section. Otherwise, I think the article meets GA criteria, so I am promoting it now. Sasata ( talk) 02:15, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

"Herbals have seen a modest revival in the western world since the last decades of the 20th century, as herbalism and related disciplines (such as homeopathy and aromatherapy) became popular forms of alternative medicine.[9]"
What does homeopathy have to do with this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.73.79.175 ( talk) 12:08, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
