What’s the biggest issue you see with the present day beauty and skin care industry? Is it the process? The methods?
The beauty industry is becoming a popular business here. Every 20 something wants to be a beauty influencer. The biggest issue that I see in this industry is that the chemical ingredients that been use in the formulation is not healthy, for example Synthetic colour/fragrant, Phthalates, Triclosan, SLS (Sodium laureth sulfate), Formaldehyde, Toluene and many more…these young entrepreneurs must do their research!

The common problems are, wrinkles, sagging, eczema, psoriasis, pigmentation, body odor, hair lost, weight lost, asthma, sagging breast, all kind of anti aging problems, high blood pressure, cyst or fibroid, and many more…
How/When did you first start becoming interested in holistic healing and the benefits of plants?
I was always interested in plants and the healing capabilities of nature, from as far back as I can remember but when I was hit by cervical cancer. I’ve had my uterus and ovaries removed.
I went through chemotherapy but when there was no change to my condition, I decided to change to a more holistic and natural way of treatment. Unfortunately, at the time, Malaysians were not exposed yet to essential oils.
I went back to Washington, US to ask one of my college professor her interests on natural healing,,, she proposed Essential Oils, consumed a lot of colored fruits, veggies and herbs. From there I started my own research and proceed with development. Today I have more that 150 proven formula for alternative healing from head to toe.
How has the path of herbalism changed your life?
It gave me the opportunity to improve my knowledge by doing more and more R&D on how to help people by way of natural way of healing, and of course help myself.” Basically to educate and make more people understand what is holistic treatment with natural and organic and why it is very important to use it as alternative healing. My learning and education never stop.
