My path into herbal medicine began through personal experience. I was diagnosed at a young age with ulcerative colitis and high blood pressure.
I turned to the conventional medical system only to be told there was no cure - only long-term management through immunosuppressants, steroids, and surgery as a last resort. Over time, these treatments began to take a toll on my immune system and overall quality of life.
Balancing my health alongside a demanding career in IT and family responsibilities became increasingly difficult. As a new immigrant, stepping away from work was not an option, so I began searching for another way forward.
