Homeopathy does use herbs, look up the actual definition on wikipedia. Conversely, "holistic" has nothing to do with herbs, although traditionally most holistic practioners prefer them. The two ideologies work together quite well.
Some of the hardest working multitasking herbs are as follows:
echinicea - immune booster, helps with allergies, acne, promotes cell growth and healing
aloe vera - antibacterial, antiseptic, antimicrobial, promotes cell growth and healing, when used internally is a cleanser
kelp - can remove toxic metals from the body, promotes cell growth and healing, regulates metabolism
gingko biloba - antioxidant, helps with memory, promotes good circulation
chamomile - immune booster, calming effect, antimicrobial
black cohosh - regulates hormones, can increase libido, prevent mood swings/pms etc (this stuff really works, let me tell you!)
things you may already have in your pantry:
cinnamon - relieves intestinal gassiness
garlic - lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, antioxidant, may prevent cancer
ginger - helps with upset stomach, indigestion, or nausea, promotes good circulation
before you begin using herbs it's always a good idea to research thoroughly to make sure you have no health issues that would contraindicate the herb you would like to use. For example, kelp regulates metablism by stimulating the thyroid gland, so people with thyroid issues should not use it.

I assume you mean you're going natural, or holistic, rather than homeopathic- which is a different thing and does not involve herbs and essential oils.
Some basics:
Peppermint - nausea, sinus problems. Both tea, and oil for inhaling.
Lavender - headaches - essential oil
Chamomile - anxiety, sleeplessness - tea and essential oil
Eucalyptus - stuffiness - essential oil
Raw Local Honey - Upset stomach, sore throat, allergies, burns, cuts
Echinacea - tea - colds, immune booster
Lemon. Orange - essential oil - depression.
Ginseng - tea - energy boost
Ginkgo Biloba - tea- focus, memory
Tea Tree Oil - blisters, bronchitis, cold sore

Number one essential oil for me is Tea tree Oil. It is a natural antiseptic, stops dandruff, can clean with it, etc. Also buy an aloe vera plant moistirizes you, natural suncreen, and so much more!
