Best Answer
Unlike meat products and potatoes, grains like rice can be brought into Germany.
Homeopathic remedies are not considered medicines in Germany, because their efficacy has not been proven. Legally, it's just sugar or alcohol, and unless you bring ridiculous amounts, you will not exceed the free import limit for alcohol.
Finally, there is a limit on the total value of goods which you can bring with you, which is 430 EUR for air travellers.
