Health is Wealth
When we balance our health in mind, body, and spirit, we are able to give more to the ones we love and to the world.
Graceβs Story
From the beginning of mankind, our bodies were designed to fight disease naturally through nutrition and a healthy balanced lifestyle. Our ancestors foraged plants and made natural medicine to prevent and cure disease. But now, we live in a world that is sedentary and too convenient, numbing our pain by consuming preservative-filled foods, prescription medications, and exploiting our ecosystem. This is ruining our health and longevity.
At the age of six, I suffered from chronic health issues and was misprescribed many times while my family navigated the frustrating labyrinth of the American healthcare system. Our last resort was to seek help from my grandmother who was an Eastern medicine doctor. Acupuncture and herbal remedies enabled my body to heal naturally, and I realized the importance of health, nutrition, and growing my own plant medicine at an early age. My chronic pain became my saving grace.
As a Korean American, I had the privilege of being taught to embrace both cultures from my grandmothers who have shared their secrets to holistic healing through plants and in Eastern medicine. Rooted in ancient Korean herbalism, Qi Alchemy is dedicated to bringing the most effective and highest quality herbal blends to the modern world.
I hope to share these functional herbal blends that have proven to be so beneficial for many people, with health and wellness progressives around the world.
We are all from a garden.
With love,
Grace
