Dr. Kim Ok Gwan N.D., O.M.D., PhD The success
of Dr. Kim Ok Gwan is founded upon the combination of powerful complementary therapies that has developed into a unique healing
system for diagnosing and treating a wide range of aliments. Patients are coming from all over the world to visit his clinic
in San Jose, Costa Rica to get treated their serious health problems.
Dr. Kim began his pursuit of the healing
art by becoming a master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine after graduation of Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Science
in California. Through years of clinical experiences in Oriental Medicine, he concluded that nutrition is the most important
therapy to be used in the healing arts. Therefore he obtained a Ph.D in Nutritional Counseling at the La Salle University
in 1997 in Louisiana.
As his practice evolved he noticed a repeating pattern in which many aliments were ultimately
rooted in unidentified allergies. He was studied with a leading allergy expert, Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad who has developed
a remarkable technique for allergy treatment and elimination.
The continuous refinement of his practice led Dr.
Kim to study the program of Doctor of Naturopathy at the Trinity College in Indiana in order for him to integrate the natural
healing art in terms of western science. With completion of his study successfully, he obtained ND (Doctor of Naturopathy)
in 2007.
He currently practices his natural healing art in San Jose, Costa Rica and enjoys his life with his family.

On the slopes of Poás Volcano, only 45 minutes
from San José, you'll find one of the best collections of medicinal plants in Costa Rica, where cultural traditions
and medicine come together for physical and spiritual wellbeing. Our garden is nestled in the center of our 7 hectare property, which also produces culinary herbs. Over 300 species of medicinal plants, from Costa Rica and around the world, grow within
the garden. Many of these plants could otherwise only be found in distant places such as India, Brazil, China, etc. Some species
are endangered in other areas of the world due to over-exploitation of their natural populations. Your visit to the garden is more than a simple tour. You will have the opportunity to
see, touch, and smell these plants, which different cultures have investigated and used over the centuries and found to be
important for our wellbeing. Walking through the garden
has therapeutic effects, on a mental and physical level, as you take in the tropical colors, earthy aromas, and pristine flavors. From our farm, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Costa Rica's
Central Valley, and you will be sharing it with the different species of birds and butterflies that find refuge on our land. After experiencing the garden, we invite you to the house to enjoy
some delicious tea and snacks, and to browse our gift shop where you will find a variety of natural products.

 Luna Lodge Have you ever visited a place so enchanting,
so fascinating, so alive that no matter where you go in your life, or what you do from that point on, the memory of that particular
journey and its adventures remain indelibly fixed in your mind? Maybe you are sitting in your office, or mowing your lawn,
or sun-bathing on a beach back home, when all of a sudden that same feeling or energy of that place gently descends upon you
out of the blue, and you find yourself drifting back into those recollections and reliving them as if it had happened just
yesterday. Well, beware! This is one of the lasting side-effects of a vacation to Luna Lodge of Costa Rica, a secluded eco-lodge
set in the pristine and captivating Osa Peninsula near Corcovado National Park in southwestern Costa Rica. Whether hiking
