Four Generations of Experience

Centuries of Knowledge
Meet the KAMWO FAMILY

DR. CARL S. LEUNG
NCCAOM HERBALIST
FOUNDER OF KAMWO HERBS

The passion for healing runs through the meridians of the Leung family. The art of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been passed down from father to son, with each generation expanding on eastern science. Dr. Shan Leung’s grandfather established a Chinese Medical lineage from the late Qing Dynasty; Huidao Leung, Dr. Leung’s father, continued the tradition, providing tutelage to Dr. Leung as a Chinee Medicine Doctor in Hong Kong.

Dr.Shan Leung established Kamwo Herbs on his arrival in the US. and began to build it into one of the largest, most-respected purveyors of Chinese medicine and herbs.

Dr. Leung has over 50 years of experience practicing Chinese herbs and wrote two books, Guide to Healthy Living for the Chinese in North America and The Potent Man’s Guide to Chinese Herbs, Food, and Drink. Dr. Leung is a highly regarded expert in diseases of the skin. His decades of clinical experience in dermatology have led to the development of effective and coveted skin care products.

He is the chairman of the Association of Chinese Herbalists and a member of the Council Board.

DR. THOMAS N. LEUNG
PHARM BS., DACM, L.AC
CEO OF KAMWO HERBS

Dr. Thomas Leung has taken his father's vision of making high-quality Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) accessible to all and elevated it even further. As a trained pharmacist and doctor of TCM, Dr. Leung combines his knowledge of Western pharmaceutical practices with the ancient healing arts, setting a new standard in TCM dispensaries.

In a lighthearted manner, Dr. Leung acknowledges the saying that a shoemaker's son makes shoes, and in his case, it rings true. His understanding of both pharmaceutical and traditional treatments allows him to skillfully navigate and integrate each system with purpose, ensuring that clients at Kamwo can shop with confidence.

Dr. Leung holds a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Pacific College Health Sciences. Being a fourth-generation TCM practitioner, he has been immersed in the field since his childhood.
