Chris Jacobs’ interest in herbal medicine started in the 90’s when his family started a company that sold herbs from Peru. Upon moving to Asheville and meeting Frank, he began a more in-depth study of plant medicine. Chris attended both the Appalachian School of Holistic Herbalism and the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine. Chris was deeply inspired by a talk with Frank about the emerging planetary medicine system. This was part of the impetus for him to begin training in Traditional Daoist Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture. Chris currently practices at Asheville Community Acupuncture and Mission hospital. He has also been involved in acupuncture outreach projects on Native American reservations. He is very grateful to serve on the board of directors of PHI. Chris is excited to continue traveling the planet, meeting new plants and traditional healers then respectfully sharing their knowledge with the world.
