Feedback
Hi I see that your page is nominated for deletion. One issue is that it duplicates an existing topic, herbalism. If you have interest in contributing to this topic, you may find it easier to add to the existing page, which avoids creating what's known as a content fork. Another issue is that you appear to draw your own conclusions. Sentences such as

"The power of herbalism has shown itself to be very promising, but perhaps in conjunction with new developments in biotechnology, it can be used to its full potential."

indicate to me that you are engaging in original research. Absolutely everything in Wikipedia needs to come from a reliable source. Adding conjecture and opinion is not allowed.

Another issues is the lack of citations in general. Everything in Wikipedia needs to come from a reliable source, and everything also needs to be cited. There are large chunks of content that I see that totally lack citations, which is a red flag for an article. I hope this advice helps you with editing in the future.
