The Role of TCM in Healthcare Industry

UTAR CEO Talk Series: The Role of TCM in healthcare industry

UTAR Centre for Corporate and Community Development (CCCD), in collaboration with UTAR Unovate Centre, M. Kandiah Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and DXN, organised the “CEO Talk Series: The Role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Healthcare Industry” on 28 February 2023 at Sungai Long Campus. The talk was also live-streamed via Facebook and Zoom. Datuk Lim Siow Jin, the executive chairman and founder of DXN was invited to deliver the talk.


At the beginning of the talk, Datuk Lim shared foods that can provide good nutrition to the body, help with detoxification, and balance back the functions of the body, can all be classified as health food. “In recent years the sales of health food have overtaken medicine,” he highlighted. He also stated that sometimes after taking Ganoderma or any type of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), some people tend to experience vomiting and diarrhoea, so they would end up feeling shocked. “That is very normal because the body is in the process of detoxing, hence there is nothing for you to be afraid of,” he emphasised.


Other than that, Datuk Lim stated that it was important to never ignore the importance of doctors. “The role of a Traditional Chinese Medicine Centre is to complement the job of a doctor,” he added. “A doctor tends to focus more on treating the disease, while we in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Centre focus more towards helping individuals or patients in balancing their lifestyles and the basic functioning of their body through traditional Chinese medicine such as herbs,” he said.

On top of that, Datuk Lim gave valuable advice to the participants. “Don’t use any folk’s stories to promote any type of products or services because it will not work and it can’t be applied in the international market.” He stated that oftentimes, people in the TCM industry are so used to sharing old folks’ stories and making things complicated. At the end of the day, most of them will not even remember what they explained earlier. Make things simple, simplicity rules the world,” he added.


He also shared that sometimes when he flies over to another country, the people there tend to challenge and ask him, “Instead of using Traditional Chinese Medicine, why not just change one’s diet to tackle all sorts of health issues.” 

He replied, “It is much easier for someone to change their God rather than their food,” to which they all agreed and laughed together with him. And that is how he will take the opportunity to introduce them to “Ganoderma” which is also known as Lingzhi,” he shared.

Furthermore, he urged TCM centres to come up with a standard formula so that it can be widely applied to treat patients. “When you have a standard formula, it will be easier, as more than fifty per cent of the problems are usually the same. It is either lungs problem or a stomach problem only,” he stated. He also shared some of the good testimonies from his customers.

The talk ended with an interactive and insightful Q&A session followed by a group photography session.

One World, One Market!

A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES WITH DXN'S ONE WORLD ONE MARKET.

DXN was founded by Datuk Lim Siow Jin, a graduate from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology. Datuk Lim started the business in quest of the benefits of mushroom on human health. His deep interest and endless effort drove him to utilize the fullest potential of Ganoderma or Lingzhi, which is well-known as the King of Herbs, for human health and wealth, with the establishment of DXN in 1993.

The core business activities of DXN include cultivation, manufacturing and marketing of the health food supplements. Based in Malaysia with worldwide operations, the company is well-known for its Ganoderma business. Its product lines include dietary supplements, food and beverages, personal care products, skin care and cosmetics, household products and water treatment system. Since its inception in 1993, DXN has upheld its concept of 'One Dragon One World One Market and One Mind'. With this powerful concept, DXN has sailed through continuous growth over the years. On 30 September 2003, DXN Holdings Berhad was listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. DXN was delisted on 27 December 2011 due to a take-over offer by the founder.

DXN Holdings Berhad is the investment holdings and management company of DXN Group. DXN's high regard for quality earned the company many outstanding citations and recognitions from various health and business organizations. Along with the solid foundation and sustainable development, DXN has rapidly diversified into other business activities, which include property, information technology, etc. 

In its core business of direct selling, the rapid global expansion of DXN is recognized internationally by its vast growth of distributors worldwide and its amplification of footprint in key strategic locations.

THE FOUNDER

DXN was founded by Datuk Lim Siow Jin, a graduate from the famed Indian Institute of Technology. Datuk Lim has a deep interest in mushrooms and their relationship with human health.

After more than 20 years of careful research and scientific analysis, Datuk Lim discovered the specific benefits of Ganoderma or Lingzhi and its corresponding effects on human health. Realizing Lingzhi's importance and health benefits, Datuk Lim began sharing his knowledge about this miraculous herb among his friends and colleagues who mirrored his passion for good health.

Datuk Lim did not stop there. He felt that he should form a company that would help more people to get acquainted and utilize the benefits of this miraculous herb. In 1993, Datuk Lim's dream came true when he established DXN in Kedah, Malaysia.
