About the Founder

"Traditional Chinese Medicine doesn't just treat symptoms. TCM aims to treat both the root cause and the presenting symptoms — known as the ben and the biao. TCM enhances the body's natural intelligence for healing and recovery, whilst Western medicine focuses primarily on the symptoms."

— Charles John BSc (Hons) Acupuncture, PG Dip CHM, Dip CHM · Founder, The Herb Souk™
