Alchemist House aims to preserve the blessings of nature and ancient wisdom for the modern age, and to be a guide for those seeking harmony of mind and body.
Our story began with co-founder Satoshi's quest to overcome his own anxiety disorder, when he turned to ancient plant remedies for answers to calm his own negative thoughts that conventional treatments were failing to alleviate.
As the heads of major American and European CBD brands in Japan, respectively, we had a deep understanding of the potential of plant therapy. Mariko has extensive experience and knowledge of medicine as a pharmacist, and Satoshi has an understanding of Ayurveda and other Eastern medicines through his own experiences.
During his research, he came across a new trend emerging in North America called the "psychedelic renaissance," in which many people were seeking new approaches to their mental health issues.
As part of this movement, we focused on botany and used our mutual knowledge to explore the possibilities of plant medicine from around the world. In the process, we experienced healing for our own mind and body through encounters with safe plants and fungi, such as functional mushrooms, canna plants, and adaptogens.
This exploration helped me erase the negative voices that held me back and achieve a greater sense of peace in my life than I'd ever known before, and it inspired me to want to share the incredible potential of these plants with as many people as possible.
Alchemist House was born from this idea, and is a place where we pursue the health of the mind, body, and soul through the blessings of plants. We aim to continue to provide pure and safe plant products backed by ancient wisdom and modern scientific evidence.
"We rediscover forgotten traditions and the blessings of nature to provide the nourishment needed for modern mental health."
