A herbalist is someone who grows, sells, or uses herbs, especially to treat illness. In English-speaking countries this often means a person trained in Western herbal medicine: they may run a shop, grow the plants, or sit with you and suggest teas and tinctures. The word is calm and respectful; it is not slang, and it is not an insult.
