Herbalism as a Religion?

Today I am going to learn more about a new religion by reading a book my dear friend brought me called Basic Herbs for health and healing. I need to start finding new ways of taking care of myself and healing myself. So my friend said this worked for him and he thought it would be really helpful for my health. A quote from the author Rashan Abdul Hakim "Herbs are God-given gifts that permits us to maintain our natural state of good health: Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually".
