i agree on the complete list as mentioned and I will add feverfew. Tanacetum parthenium. since I have tested it and also gave a friend some plants for his wife’s migraines and it works. The leaves are just very, very, very bitter and that taste stays in your mouth for a hour. but it is worth it
I started with Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Willow and Rosemary because of the pain salve I make. Later added Comfrey, Calendula and Plantain for a wound salve.
I am going to write out my starter encyclopedia with 101 most useful and choose 5 to 10 based on ailments that are already an issue with family and friends, and not the most exciting but several herbs that I have already available.
Calendula – Calendula officinalis
Chamomile, German – Matricaria recutita
Comfrey – Symphytum officinale
Echinacea – Echinacea purpurea
Fennel – Foeniculum vulgare
Garlic – Allium sativum
Peppermint – Mentha piperita
Due to climate and ability to grow my own, these are what I have chosen.
I chose 5 herbs to start with: Cayenne (Capsicum annuum), Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) – I’ve always bee very drawn to these two herbs – Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Peppermint (Mentha piperita) – I chose these two because I have a lot of GI issues and they both help tremendously – and St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) because my husband has a lot of anxiety and he takes this herb as supplement to help.
I choose Symphytum officinale [Comfrey] and Zingiber officinale [Ginger] for medicine and Ruta graveolens [Rue] for mystery. The latter is used in my family.

I choose Symphytum officinale [Comfrey] and Zingiber officinale [Ginger] for medicine and Ruta graveolens [Rue] for mystery. The latter is used in my family.
I will choose Calendula – Calendula officinalis to start my materia medica.
Started my Materia Medica with yarrow. I can see how one herb can keep you busy for a whole year!
