I purchased this item after it was blessed at Jigen-ji Temple in Chichibu. I bought three bags while undergoing treatment for macular degeneration and took it in conjunction with my medical visits. Whether it was effective or not, I am now completely cured. I have one remaining, unopened 100g bag. I will give it to anyone who needs it. Although it is new, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. You can purchase without leaving a comment. Thank you.
