The reason that Tom gives many of the herbs we are familiar with L3 type of
ratings is because there is little to no data. His book is scientifically
based on research, evidence, and reported experience, all of which are
scarce when it comes to herbs. In keeping with his reporting standards, he
cannot make definitive statements that he cannot support. Thus, the
"moderately safe" rating. It is not a statement of negativity per se, but
rather a reflection of a lack of western science type of data.
