Herbalist Mark Hammer, C.M.H., created Longevity Mountain Herbs in 1998.[10] Hammer created herbal formulae based on his knowledge of herbology gleaned from a variety of sources around the world. He worked as an apprentice under George Chun, who had a significant impact on Longevity Mountain Herbs' conviction in traditional Chinese medicine as opposed to the North American understanding of Chinese medicine.[11] Mr. Hammer studied Chinese medicine at the Scientific American Hanyak Institute under Dr. Chun’s tutelage. From 2000-03 where he was given certification from Level I to Advanced practitioner of Chinese medicine.[12] In 2002, Mr. Hammer developed a simpler Chinese medicine assessment format with metrics. In 2003, He developed formulas for most mental health conditions. He has been a student and practiced as a master herbalist for the last 30 plus years.[13] He is well versed in Native American, South American, European, Egyptian, Ayurvedic, Tibetan, African, and Chinese medicine. The concept that incorporating a global corpus of herbal knowledge is more significant than a single geographical source, underpins formula creation. However, he has been profoundly affected by Asian medicine in terms of utilizing herbal knowledge. When employed in various herbal medicine techniques, the diagnostics and understanding of natural medicine material are incredibly beneficial and synergistic.[14]
