Having a Pre Paid Legal plan makes this as cheap as $26 a month. If you want more information check out the link below. I would suggest talking to a business law attorney.

However if you are selling these things you will need a retail license or a business license. I am a Naturopathic Doctor and I sell herbal meds to people. All I have is my business license. However I would be interested in what products you have to offer. If you could send me some samples I would love to try them out. As I end up ordering a lot of my stuff because I don't have the time to make everything myself dealing with my clientele. I have to much to do because I offer medical information as well as consultations to people in need of my services. You also may want to try nolo law they are a self help legal site. Make a disclaimer stating that you are not a doctor and that you do not claim that these products can cure anything. That will protect you from someone trying to sue you. You make no claims no law suit. Just tell them that they are designed to enhance wellness. Please email me seriously. You shouldn’t need to worry about any legalities if you are not selling anything.

You should also look into legal advice about drafting a disclaimer containing whether any of your products contain ingredients someone could be allergic to, whether they are approved or not by the FDA, what contraindications might be possible with any specific medications, etc. I think your best bet would be first to incorporate, so that you could protect personal assets and limit personal liability - otherwise, imagine what could be at stake if someone gets sick, or claims to, from one of your samples.
