Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of PulseWell. Here's the story.

### 🫥 THE PROBLEM
For years I dealt with bloating, afternoon energy crashes, and stress that wouldn't go away. Western doctors ran tests. Everything came back "normal." "Get more rest," they said. Nothing changed.
A TCM practitioner looked at my tongue for 5 seconds. "Your liver Qi is stagnant," she said. She gave me 3 tips: press this acupressure point, drink this tea, sleep before 11pm. No pills. No scary diagnoses.
Two weeks later I felt like a different person.
That experience stuck with me. There are 5,000 years of wisdom here — but it's locked behind language barriers, $200 consultations, and the sheer impossibility of finding a qualified TCM practitioner outside of China.
So I built PulseWell.

### 🌿 WHAT IT DOES
1. Tell the AI how you feel — fatigue? stress? digestion? sleep? Just type naturally, like talking to a friend.
2. AI asks follow-up questions — about your tongue, sleep, diet, emotions. Like a real TCM consultation.
3. Get your Body Type Card — from 9 TCM constitutions. Think MBTI, but for your health.
4. Walk away with a plan — personalized diet tips, acupressure points, lifestyle advice. Stuff you can actually do today.

### 💡 WHY THIS MATTERS
Western medicine treats symptoms. TCM understands patterns.
Your bloating, your stress, your skin breakouts — they might all be connected. PulseWell connects the dots.
And here's what gets me excited: TCM body types are inherently shareable. "I'm Liver Qi Stagnation" hits the same psychological need as "I'm an INTJ." Your Body Type Card becomes social currency — which means every user brings more users.

If you try it, tell me what body type you got in the comments. I'm genuinely curious what patterns show up in the PH community. My bet: lots of Qi Stagnation 😅
Roast me, praise me, ask me anything. I'll be here all day answering every comment. 🤙
