Brief History of the Founder "Hen Sen Chin"

Hen Sen at the age of 10

He was born in 1923 in the village of Tai Shan, China. He immigrated to the United State at the age of 10 to join his older brothers. He settled in Seattle and worked very hard as a teenager in various jobs in China Town until one day, he decided to become a herbalist. He went back to Hong Kong and Taiwan where he became the youngest student to graduate from the prestigious herb school.

One of the First Herbal Shops in Seattle.

Hen Sen Herbs' First Location

After receiving the herbal medicine degree, he came back to Seattle and opened his first herbal shop, "Hen Sen Herbs" in China Town on the corner of 8th and King St.. He was very well received from the beginning and people loved him because of his sincere and genuinely caring personality.

Soon, he became so busy that he could no longer handle it himself. Dr. Jue and his wife was one of the first ones, along with countless others, who contributed to the work of Hen Sen. Most of the people who helped Hen Sen, including Mrs. Jue, (left picture) were patients of Hen Sen themselves. They benefited greatly from Hen Sen's herbs. So in many cases, they volunteered their time to learn more about herbs form him.
