Re: Holidaying in UK from NZ - herbs advice

[Guest guest]

Jo, I don't know about whether you can bring them in ( I hope someone else will

answer) but, if you do, I think it would be very helpful to come through UK

Customs with only new, sealed and unopened containers of each supplment - that

way they are much less likely to worry about what's in each pot.

Jo,

I have taken all sorts of herbs in and out of the EU without a problem. I travel

with OoO, Ltheanine, Liver life, golden seal and the list goes on.....

I just make sure that it's original packaging in case they decide to ask me but

no one ever does. Even with the new EU directives, all of herbs you mention and

more are available in the EU and the UK so I wouldn't worry.

Have a great trip,

we are also coming to the UK from NZ in September. How easy is it to get gf/df

products in the major supermarkets? It's been a long time since I had to buy

the kids food in the UK. Are our staples like organic coconut oil readily

available? Thanks

Biona organic raw virgin coconut oil seems to be available at good, independent health shops here but may vary with region of UK. CSubject: Re: Holidaying in UK from NZ - herbs adviceTo: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Date: Sunday, 29 April, 2012, 6:15

I can get coconut oil now in my supermarket Sainsbury's a few yards of my house.

I come in and out of the UK and NZ each year or several times a year and - touch wood - I've never had a problem with anything.

Yes, organic coconut oil and gluten/dairy free goods are available in heaps of stores these days. Brilliant! Waitrose, Sainsburys, even Tescos (although very limited range and not so desirable at Tescos, IMHO.

But good if you're stuck). Whole Foods, Planet Organic, Revital stores and general local health food stores stock a great range of items.
