Alex Jacobs is a qualified Chinese Herbalist, Acupuncturist, Tui Na Massage Practitioner and Tai Chi & Qi Gong teacher. He is also the current president of the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine. He was originally inspired to study Chinese medicine from experiences he had while studying Mandarin in Taiwan.

He has studied with many masters and teachers in both the West and the East. Experiencing Chinese medicine as both patient and practitioner, he has a particular interest in ‘Yang Sheng’ or Chinese Medicine self-help. He believes that Chinese medicine can not only treat a wide range of illness, but it can also help us to take back control of our health and lead to greater empowerment in our lives.

To help facilitate the learning of this knowledge, he founded the London Chinese Medicine Meetup group in 2012 and has runs monthly talks and events for the public. You can find out more at www.daomedicine.com.
