Hey guys, I've been thinking about this for a long while. I have chronic back pain (Myofascial syndrome) and have always looked for herbal helpers, remedies, for my back. This and my love for the psychedelic journey, has lead to me looking deeply in to herbal rememdies, and then paired with my science-y side, I've loved looking deeply in to various extractions, tintures, etc.
I'd sell straight leaves, some more potent homenade extractions, tinctures, capsules, obviously just depending on what form the herb lends itself too.
I'd love to start (Obviously it would begin online, not massively plausible it'd end up a physical store, but that would be amazing) an online/eBay shop selling ethnobotanicals, herbal extractions and tinctures, books and information of herbal medicines, and various other things. Also, any idea any other things I could sell as well that would go alongside these products?
So I've just a few questions . 1) Any idea where I could find/how I would find, sources for large amounts of herbs? Obviously I'd start off with smallerr amounts, but would want to be buying in real bulk eventually.
2) Would it be difficult and expensive to get bottles made with labels on? Any idea where I'd go for this?
3) I live in the UK, as long as the herbs I'm selling are legal, I'd be fine, right? What about extractions? Tinctures? etc. Because obviously herbal supplements are not regulated by any food or medical board, would selling them in these forms get me in to any trouble?
4) If I were to list herb Xs supposed health benefits, when they have never actually been 100% clinically proven, could this get me in to some capers?
Cheers guys! I'd absolutely love to do this, as suffering with my back, constant chronic pain day-in, day-out, I just want to help other people with their pains.

I can help man,
1) This depends largely on the herbs in question, where do they grow, are they expensive or rare? Usually there's websites like tradekey where you can find bulk distributors of these herbs and many countries have their own global trade type websites.
2) Buy a Dymo 450 label maker on amazon and some amber bottles, you can design your own labels with thermal printing and shit.
3) I'm not too up to date with what's going on in the UK right now, but i'd think you'd be fine as long as you're not selling those NEW PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES
4) I believe you'd have to be very picky with the warnings, look at how other people advertise the same herbs/tinctures or whatever where you're at. Usually you have to state "This product is not intended to cure, diagnose, or treat any disease"
If you need help with anything else let me know, just shoot me a PM man I got a site going right now maybe we can help eachother out.
