MACROBIOTICAS -

where you can find

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES

A MACROBIOTICA is where you can find MANY natural vitamins, tinctures and some herbs!

NOTE: Have anyone coming from the States/Canada to visit you? You may want to ask them to bring you a few months supply (though not too much as you don’t want Customs thinking you’re buying them for a business).

Shipping ANY form of natural medicine/herbs/etc. into Costa Rica: 

You might SERIOUSLY want to rethink that as those items, if properly labeled, WILL most likely get stopped by the Eduana (customs) and you get to jump through LOTS of hoops, time and expenses to get them out of the Eduana including YOU usually will HAVE to get special Health Permits - IF you can even get them (which is happening more and more sadly).

For now, many Holistic treatments are ok (operative word - “ok”) in Costa Rica but we're hearing of the powers that be shutting down more and more of these people that have special "gifts" to share that help MANY (bottom line people - even God can't heal you if there's not a part of you somewhere that TRULY is willing to let whatever ails you go!  For over 20 years there has been much talk about getting it all licensed (who in the U.S. government are they hanging out with or might it be the LARGE drug manufacturing company presence that is here?).
