        What would be the best 5-10 herbs for setting up your first apothecary?   Basically the herbs that would be used for family (including children) wellness and common illness (colds, headaches, stomach upset, allergies, etc. ) support?  Thank you for your input.

              Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
