江榮原家中幼時貧窮，他卻因此有極大的動力去追求事業上的成功。他曾自己開過創意工作­室，也曾在政治圈中打滾。但這些成功的經歷反而讓他發現迷失了自己。他因此決定從自己­生長的土地開始，重新尋找自己。

他認為，成功和失敗都只是表象，而不能代表一個人的本質。從作天然肥皂中他領悟到，只­要相信土地、相信自己，回歸本質，你所做的事情就會是對的。

講者：江榮原(Jung-Yuan Chiang)
40歲前，江榮原先生投身出版與文字創意產業。然而卻在事業如日中天的時刻，內在精神­卻開始強烈抗拒訛虞我詐的社會環境，加上身心長期失衡，終致體質改變，造成皮膚異常過­敏。阿原決定放慢生活步調，藉著接觸宗教與修習氣功調理自己。也從愛惜身體、將心比心­作為起點，致力研製不會加重身體負擔的天然手作肥皂。

2005年阿原與兩個弟弟成立阿原工作室，強調以台灣青草藥為素材，使用在地原料、在­地勞動力創造出純手工製作天然肥皂。短短幾年間引起在亞洲很大的迴響，證明自然樂活的­養身概念是大勢所趨，而外表樸實、內在誠懇的產品，更能呼應現代人追求身心靈純淨的生­活哲學。

Mr. Chiang Jung-Yuan was formerly involved in the creative writing and publishing industries prior to turning 40. At the peak of his career, Yuan showed signs of burning out, mentally and physically. Years of endless hypocrisy and falsehoods surrounding his line of work took a toll on him; as a result, his immune system weakened and he started to develop chronic skin problems. It was then that Yuan decided to alter his lifestyle by embracing a slower paced life that involved religion and qigong. His new rituals led him down to a different path of making handmade organic soaps that are therapeutic for the body. 

In 2005, Yuan and his two younger brothers founded Yuan Workshop Co. The company uses the healing powers of natural ingredients from various regions of Taiwan to create a line of preservative-free soaps. Such products employ local talents to handmade and hand-pack. In the short span of three years, Yuan's products have gradually built up a base of clients in Asia, proving that an all-natural solution is healthy not only for the body and mind, but also for the local Taiwanese community.
