Not necessarily, they can be ,but some medicinal herbs are not culinary, and some culinary are not medicinal.

Culinary - means an herb used in cooking to enhance or flavour a dish. Medicinal - means an herb used to treat an illness, disease, injury or other medical condition. Some herbs have one use or the other, while many can be and are used for both applications.
