Popular Health Service Gets a Major Makeover
Kracie Pharmaceutical Co., a leading provider of herbal and general pharmaceuticals, has announced an exciting upgrade to its popular body constitution diagnosis service, 'Karada Kagami.' Beginning June 30, this revamped version is available on the Kracie website. Since its launch in 2016, Karada Kagami has seen an impressive rise in its user base, reaching over 4.7 million diagnoses by June 2025. The service aligns with the increasing demand for personalized self-care solutions in the healthcare sector, allowing individuals to gain insights into their unique body constitution and select the most suitable herbal remedies and self-care strategies.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the balance of three key elements—Qi (energy), Blood, and Water—plays a crucial role in assessing an individual’s constitution. With this new iteration of 'Karada Kagami,' participants will now answer eight straightforward questions to gain insights about their health status and receive support for symptom relief and constitution improvement.
The latest upgrade has introduced two new types—'Shi-Net' (Damp Heat) and 'Yo-Kyo' (Yang Deficiency)—expanding the diagnostics from six to eight distinct body types. The redesign also features more relatable illustrations that resonate with current trends, making it visually appealing. The user interface has undergone a complete overhaul to ensure that even first-time users find it intuitive and easy to navigate.
Enhanced Diagnostic Precision
One of the notable aspects of the updated service is the segmentation into eight types, enhancing diagnostic precision substantially. Previously, some users felt that existing classifications did not suit their experiences; now with the introduction of Damp Heat and Yang Deficiency, more accurate diagnostics are available. This refinement not only aids users in identifying underlying health issues but also guides them in selecting appropriate herbal remedies and self-care practices tailored to their unique needs.
Visual Representation of Results
Another innovation is the incorporation of radar charts to visually represent users’ diagnostic results. This feature allows individuals to see which constitution type they most closely align with at a glance, while also revealing overlapping characteristics across multiple types. Such visual tools are crucial for facilitating deeper understanding and awareness of one's health trends.
Upgraded Practical Advice
The upgrade isn’t limited to diagnostics alone; the advice provided post-assessment has also evolved significantly. The goal is to transition users from simply obtaining results to applying those insights to improve their daily lives actively. Alongside previous suggestions, the new service offers concrete recommendations related to dietary habits and lifestyle choices. Each user receives personalized information designed to feel as though they’re getting one-on-one guidance from health professionals.
