Latest Research Findings
One of the causes of irritated or rough skin is a disturbance in the intestinal environment. It is often thought that stress causes rough skin, however when you feel stress, your intestinal environment is also damaged. The intestinal environment is affected by our living environment and diet, so it is very important to be aware of these factors in our daily lives. By ensuring that our intestinal environment is healthy, we can also improve the condition of our skin.
Fermented foods are especially beneficial for our intestinal environment. Our ancient ancestors knew this and modern research has confirmed this.
Foods such as yogurt, miso, soy sauce, natto, amazake, pickles, kusaya, funazushi, and so on are essential for keeping our intestinal environment healthy.
Through our research we discovered and patented findings showing that the following foods are effective in reducing the negative effects of daily stress on the human body and inhibiting stress-induced skin problems: Caspian Sea yogurt made with a specific type of fungus, licorice, rice malt, fermented black rice and its malt, kelp, and edible mushrooms
We have discovered effective ingredients, mainly from herbal medicines, for oral and topical use to prevent skin problems such as chronic dermatitis (itchy rough skin) including atopic dermatitis.
We discovered and patented extracts of herbal medicine for topical use such as ganoderma lucidum, agarwood, orange peel, Chenpi, mashinin, dahuang, shangluo, aloe, jingji, fengfu, wa qiang qiang, hui ping, jingzhi vine, cassia, chrysanthemum flowers, and ganoderma lucidum. The active ingredients of chrysanthemum flowers and sweet pine trees were also identified and patented.
However, in recent years, another important function that has been discovered is the connection between the intestines and the brain. This is because the intestines and the brain are deeply interconnected through the nervous system and work together in many fundamental ways.
