National Wellness Month: 5 products that will help step up your wellness game
Looking after yourself is important, and in times like these, we could all use a little self-care. But now that trips to the spas and clinics are temporarily halted, there's no other way but to do it yourself at home.
As we celebrate National Wellness Month this August, let this be a reminder to include self-care into your daily schedule. There are so many ways to practice wellness—and most don't even require spending money—but if you want to step up your game, try using these products below to maintain optimal wellness while staying at home.
Ogawa Master Drive Plus
Getting a massage can be a pampering treat, but there's more to it than that. Aside from helping us feel relaxed and good, massages can reduce blood pressure and physical pain, calm anxiety and relieve stress.
Now, since many of us are still mandated to stay at home, investing in massage tools like the Ogawa Master Drive Plus chair is indeed a luxurious treat. This Ogawa massage chair is engineered with state-of-the-art technology that allows you to talk to the machine (like Siri or Alexa) and choose from a variety of massage programs that are "designed to suit specific lifestyle needs."
The price is no joke—P449,000 but it's now on sale at P269,400—but if you think of it in the long run, it's worth it. The best thing about having your own massage chair is that you can get a massage whenever you want!
