Rooted in Resilience: The AjHerbs Story
The Spark: A Mother’s Strength
AJ Herbs was born from a deeply personal mission. Our founder’s mother is a two-time breast cancer survivor who, at 65, remains a testament to human resilience. Watching her navigate the challenges of recovery taught us a vital lesson: the body is not a static machine—it is an adaptive system.
The Turning Point: The Frozen Path
While serving as a Malaysian Army Officer selected for a prestigious training program in Australia, a severe sports injury resulting in auxiliary nerve damage and muscle atrophy changed my trajectory. I was declared "Unfit for Battle".
In the military, this classification carries a heavy weight. It meant my career path was frozen—I was barred from battle courses, excluded from battle corps, and relegated to administrative roles. For someone built for the challenge of the field, being restricted to a desk was a different kind of injury.
The Evolution: Becoming a Functional Bio-hacker
Refusing to accept a "frozen" future, I transitioned into the role of a functional bio-hacker. I began researching the intersection of modern physiology and indigenous wisdom to "hack" my own recovery. This journey led me from learning the botanical synergies of the Orang Asli in the Malaysian rainforest to establishing my own small-batch lab in Ipoh.
Today, I use proprietary 40kHz Ultrasonic "Vibrate and Chill" technology to preserve the molecular integrity of our botanicals. This isn't just traditional herbalism; it is a bio-hacker's approach to providing the body with the exact tools it needs to thrive.
The Proof: Resilience in Motion
I am no longer "unfit." Today, I am a Certified lifeguard and swimming instructor who has surpassed the physical limits once set by my military medical classification. As the author of The Adaptive Body: The Challenge Principle and Your Body's Silent Alarm, I am here to share the same disciplined wellness tools I used to reclaim my own life.

The Functional Bio-hacker: A New Standard for Resilience
From Rainforest to Lab
The Soul: A Mission Born of Necessity
Before the Ipoh Lab was founded, the mission was personal. As a former Army Officer, I spent years pushing my body to its absolute limits. But when injury struck and my "Silent Alarms" began to ring, the traditional path to recovery wasn't enough. I was told I was "unfit for battle," but I chose a different fight: the study of human adaptation.
Inspired by the resilience of my mother—a two-time breast cancer survivor—and the hidden wisdom of Malaysian botanicals, I began researching how the body truly recovers. I discovered that nature provides the molecules, but science provides the delivery. AJ Herbs was born to bridge that gap.
The Science: The Ipoh Lab Protocol
We don't just "make" herbal products; we engineer molecular tools. In our private Ipoh facility, we have replaced high-heat industrial processing with a protocol we call "Vibrate and Chill."
1. The 24-Hour Freshness Protocol
Most carrier oils are "dead" inventory, sitting in drums for months before they reach you. At AJ Herbs, our process begins at 7:00 AM. We receive fresh coconut milk from local growers and begin extraction within hours. This ensures that the Lauric Acid (C12) and MCTs are at their peak biological vibrancy when they meet your skin.
2. 40kHz Ultrasonic Extraction
Heat is the enemy of healing. High temperatures destroy the delicate Citral in Lemongrass and the Gingerol in Ginger. We use proprietary 40kHz Ultrasonic technology to gently vibrate the botanical cells until they release their active compounds. By keeping our process strictly below 60°C, we preserve the "living energy" of the plant that mass-produced brands lose.
3. The 90/10 Molecular Hook
Through our research for The Adaptive Body, we developed the 90/10 Standard. We use our fresh-extracted DIY VCO (90%) as the base and reinforce it with Organic Castor Oil (10%). The castor acts as a molecular "hook," dragging the concentrated botanicals deep past the skin barrier to where the recovery actually happens.
The Integrity Commitment
We are a small-batch laboratory, not a factory. Every bottle of AJ Herbs recovery oil or concentrate features a "Harvest-to-Lab" timestamp. You will know exactly when your botanicals were bonded to their carrier, ensuring radical transparency and unmatched potency.
"We don't just want you to feel better; we want your body to adapt, evolve, and thrive."
