  Dealing with Lyme disease was an incredibly challenging and frustrating experience, and conventional treatments didn't provide the relief I sought. However, in early 2022, I discovered Chinese Medicine and its holistic approach changed everything. Witnessing the remarkable healing potential of herbal medicine firsthand ignited a deep passion within me to share this knowledge with others. I dedicated the past 4 months to writing a book and developing free content that can be shared with others.
