Do you really believe that anyone would find any scientific studies on the
biochemistry of the plant under its common name? You must be kidding.

If the person is so out of touch with the internet that they aren't even
aware of the many botanical and biochemical databases available, even
telling them to do a Google search might be something they couldn't
comprehend.

They may as well go to the library and have the librarian hold their hand
and walk them through the very basics.
