Jim Hancock is the founder of Empathy Herbal and an empath.  

 

In 2003, he severely fractured his patella in a snowboarding accident, that’s when his battle with Inflammation started.   

​

Since the initial 3 operations, he’s had 5 additional surgeries to reduce the severity of arthritis caused by inflammation. After each arthroscopy, his knee would feel better for 1 - 2 years then the pain would return, causing him to take pain medication again – the cycle was depressing. 

 

 

Until 2015, when he travelled to Indo on a surfing holiday & tried JAMU (Indonesian herbal remedies) for the first time. After a few weeks of using Jamu he started to notice less stiffness & soreness after activity and also less residual pain.  

 

Inspired by these results, he spent the next 3 years living in Indonesia surfing, studying and farming all varieties of Jamu. Upon his return to Australia he started Empathy Herbal to share his knowledge and expertise with others, to help fellow suffers of chronic disease caused by inflammation to feel better faster.  

​

Jamu has made his life better and healthier in many ways. This is one of the biggest reasons he started Empathy Herbal, to share his experience and knowledge of Jamu to help other people who suffer chronic disease, caused by inflammation to feel better faster.
