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.

My top 5 so far have been Calendula, Comfrey, Cayenne, Mullein, and Mallow

For me it’s been Comfrey, Cayenne, Mullein, Peppermint, Ginger, Garlic, Echinacea, and Olive leaf (I use an extract).
