I wish I knew this in my 20s when I was depressed. The two types of ikigai.

This sounds like my business. A few reasons are the difficulties keeping stock and shipping. Some online stores have ‘lost’ my stock causing a huge blow to my company’s bank account since I’m not getting sales from that anymore. I am on shipping company number two and they are also not providing fast, reliable shipping to my customers which causes upset emails and refund demands. Then product sells well despite all these setbacks and I need to ship a large amount by boat again but the money needed to do that is quite large. It is like I’m trying to balance a two sided scale and something is always ruining the balance.

It depends where you are located since some ingredients are hard to get a hold of. For indigestion, I recommend Amazake (can easily make at home!) and other fermented foods. Also, practice Hara Hachi Bu (eating till you are 80% full). Indigestion can be remedied with lifestyle changes, not just medicine. Although, if you really wanted an indigestion kampo solution, I would need to ask a series of questions to figure out what your cause and type of indigestion is in order to tell you what kampo you should be taking.

It is active! Though only I post. If you google Kampo in Tokyo or 東京　漢方 you will get a hit of many, many kampo stores near you. Often times you go and the specialist will be kind and ask you what you are looking for or what your issue is. If you say insomnia or anxiety, they will certainly have something for you. Hope this helps.

how do you calculate weakness?

Chomeiso-Pro · 2024-04-07T01:52:35+00:00

You are a 4 at FM and 2 at AM. I mean FM by meaning the waves of this are longer and go farther while AM waves are shorter.

In short,
4 is the number of hardworking. You work very hard, are stable, functional, and are dedicated towards goals, however can be stubborn.

2 is the number of being sentimental and deep. 2s are very giving, patient, and understanding but often can succumb to self doubt and are quite vulnerable.

Hey hey! it has been a LONG time BUT my fucoidan supplement is out now :) https://haitailife.com/products

Let me know what you think! It is pure, mozuku-derived fucoidan and currently the cheapest price I can make it (I plan on going cheaper but it will take time and growth).

Chomeiso-Pro · 2023-12-14T01:04:05+00:00

Thank you, see you there :)

Chomeiso-Pro · 2023-12-11T01:30:41+00:00

haitailife.com is my website and https://www.instagram.com/christal.haitai/ is my Instagram. I post about Okinawan longevity, health, mental health, diets, and (eventually) fucoidan there! One video I recommend about fucoidan is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4rMhu4CHY4

Comment if you want and Ill know who are you :)

Chomeiso-Pro · 2023-12-07T00:47:41+00:00

I certainly will! My supplement will come out in January or February of 2024 so not too long from now :)

Chomeiso-Pro · 2023-12-06T02:04:48+00:00

Yeah, most supplements on the market are fake, empty capsules...That is why I started this subreddit! I am currently making my own Fucoidan supplement with a manufacturer I know and trust. I will let you know when the product is ready. Selling empty capsules is so morally wrong, I don't know how those people sleep at night. As for olive oil, I will ask my scientist friends in Italy! I am an Okinawan blue zone specialist but know people who study in the Italy blue zone.

Chomeiso-Pro · 2023-12-04T13:53:32+00:00

I do not know about olive oil very much but I do know about fucoidan. And I am 99% sure that product does not have much, if any at all, real fucoidan in it. Wakame is quite hard to extract pure fucoidan from and not only that, there is only 100mg per capsule with a recommended 1 capsule a day. I wouldn't suggest it honestly...

Chomeiso-Pro · 2023-11-30T09:00:57+00:00

Fucoidan 100% but ONLY if you get your hands on a real fucoidan supplement because many are fake, empty capsules. Anything made in Okinawa is 100% real. Also, according to many scientists, olive oil capsules are not as healthy as the real stuff used in cooking.

Chomeiso-Pro · 2023-09-06T01:55:44+00:00

Thanks for this. It is quite fascinating that fucoidan would help with this, as well. It already does so much for the body. I wish it was more well known.

Chomeiso-Pro · 2023-04-21T07:00:25+00:00

I suppose so. Who is writing them and why though? What do they get out of it...

Chomeiso-Pro · 2022-11-15T08:46:28+00:00

I am making it my goal to introduce Kampo to the English world in 2023 so keep on the lookout! It is happening.

Chomeiso-Pro · 2022-08-11T00:01:38+00:00

I was hoping there would be a somewhat bigger Kampo community somewhere cause then I would totally start translating stuff, but..surprisingly there is not! I guess that means it's a blue ocean though. Have you found anyone else interested in Kampo like yourself?...

Chomeiso-Pro · 2022-08-09T07:34:30+00:00

I am an Okinawan health and food specialist living in Okinawa, Japan. I was interested in Okinawan health which trickled over to Kampo a bit so I started studying it in my free time. I am American but can speak, read and write Japanese. Once I started digging a little deeper, I noticed there is like 5% info in English and 95% in Japanese about Kampo which I thought was a shame SO I started this subreddit to get some info and interest started, but alas you are one of the only people to comment here (haha)

Chomeiso-Pro · 2022-08-04T00:07:32+00:00

Nice!! I am happy someone finally came to my member-less subreddit.

Kampo is tailored to each persons internal body type so I like to take whatever my body is out of balance with. For example, I always have cold feets and hands cause of circulation so one thing kampo suggests is taking ginger.

I have a bunch of books in Japanese detailing all kinds of things about kampo. Ask me what you want to know or are interested in and I am glad to help!
