Product Review: ReFa Pro
Duration: 2 weeks

[General]
• Overall, I especially adore the ergonomic design of ReFa. It gives a good grip even for those who are new to gadgets.

• Already 1 MILLION UNITS SOLD in JAPAN!

•Endorsed by many esteemed aestheticians & doctors, international celebrities, cosmetic dermatologists & top beauty experts!

•Who needs this? EVERYONE.
Because everyone wants to age gracefully.
With the stress levels of the corporate race or businessmen & sluggish metabolism of today's population, how to age gracefully without help?? One needs to boost the blood flow and stimulate the muscles before it's too late. Luckily, with ReFa, it means it won't be too late.

• Being instruction-free, you can roll it in any direction or style you desire.

• It is waterproof so there is no danger of electric shock in contact with water. I can bring it into the bathroom to work on areas like the butt since gadget can't work optimumly over clothes.

• Battery Free! Working on solar power is not only ingenious, very convenient and 100% environmentally-friendly. How often we wanted to use something but it ran out of battery, then we had to wait till it's charged?!

• Ultra lightweight and super portable for travel or short getaways.

• It comes with a useful guidebook on how to use ReFa head to toe.

• Can use on ANY part of your body. WHEREVER, WHENEVER. Really, any part you please. ;)

• The product is entirely 100% made & manufactured in Japan! So quality 100% guaranteed!!!

• Comes with 1 year warranty. Given its superior quality of germanium & tourmaline, it should last at least 5-6 years if you take good care of it. Ie. Don't use it as a frisbee.

• Oh, did I mention, its unisex. Anyone who wants a sexy, slim & toned silhouette. C'mon, even grandma wants too.


A The V-shaped design that replicates the procedure the expert aesthetician’s hands deliver at a 131.8o angle.

ReFa gives a total salon treatment in one handy device
The instant you roll it lightly over your bare skin, you are already visualizing the new beautiful you and you feel uplifted. The two-pronged rollers glide along your lines of your face and the curves of your body gently suctioning like the pleasant feel of the massage of an aesthetician’s hands. Just a little, over those spots that you want to treat While watching TV, or in the bathroom. When you are most relaxed, anywhere you happen to be, you can enjoy an aesthetician’s treatment. That freedom is just one more aspect of the peace of mind you get from ReFa PRO.

Product Technical information [Source: ReFa Japan site]

Micro-current was first used in the 1980s as a mandatory treatment for stroke victims and other patients suffering from partial paralysis on their face. This treatment has helped to lift droopy, paralysed muscles back into position, improving physical appearance. Since then, micro-current treatment was adapted by medical professionals for use in non-surgical and cosmetic enhancement.

Our human skin has a natural, extremely low electrical bio-current that flows through. 
As we age, our bio-current levels decreases and skin loses its elasticity and shine. ReFa Pro Platinum Electronic Roller acts as a daily micro-current maintenance treatment that compensates for low bio-current levels with age while rejuvenating our skin and reactivating skin cells to youth.


[Targeted areas]
Areas of usage: Face contours, laugh lines, neck & thighs
Time: 10mins at night

Immediate results
- I notice my face looks more V-shaped even though it's already slim.

After 2 weeks
- My face appeared sharper and more V- shaped! I heard that if your face is more chubby, the results are even more obvious & faster!

- My thighs appeared slightly more toned as my skinny jeans feel comfortably fit.
I would recommend those who are already slim to invest in one for figure maintenance.

- Having one at home is as good as having a masseuse at home! Without using much pressure, I can feel tension around neck, shoulders ease away when I use it at night!


My advice:


> Buy this gadget! It's a small investment $490 compared to all those useless slimming products you had bought (>thousands $) and still buying over the counter/online but yet to find a truly effective one!

> What's more, it is not only use on the tummy, thighs, flabby arms or fat cheeks, it CAN be used ANYWHERE on your body, head to toe. Slimmer feet, anyone? ;p

> Not need to charge before use, no electronic waves, guaranteed safe to use, use anytime you want, and is super convenient. Often slimming creams or slimming treatments at the spas are either uncomfortable, hot or sticky, or wrapped up like a mummy. ReFa gives you a very pleasurable time. ;)

> Happily roll the gadget UPWARDS in the direction, towards your heart.
This motion greatly helps for increasing blood circulation & better blood flow, in turns brings many health benefits!

If you DECIDE TO BUY, you can get your ReFA through me (limited period ONLY). 
I can show you my secrets on how I use it to roll away all your unwanted fats & unsightly areas getting you ready for your wedding, your next date with your boyfriend, surprise your husband, or just to fit into that gorgeous dress you saw at the shop window and wish you could wear that too..... NOW YOU CAN DREAM AND MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE! I can give you a free live demo as well!

Definitely more cost-effective than ur slimming sessions or package which can be 10 sessions $2000- $3000 at any decent slimming spas. Which is $200-300 per session. WOW!

If you are using Refa, it only cost you $490 for a lifetime gorgeousness. THAT'S A SMART LADY OR GUY you are!

If reading this long post, you still have queries, which some might, just comment below, dearies. I will help you answer the question. If I can't, I will consult the Japan experts to get you your answer.
You will certainly love it!

Ginger Tea Detox

On a cold, wintry day there is nothing like a steaming, aroma-filled cup of ginger tea to warm you up and awaken your senses. Prized for its healing properties and for adding flavor to dishes, this ordinary looking brown spice has been used since ages in eastern cultures. If you should sink your teeth into a fresh piece of ginger root, you will feel the sun’s fire coursing through you, as some anonymous person so eloquently said.

It’s this very fiery characteristic of the ginger root that gives it much of its medicinal properties, both in its dried as well as raw form. The dried ginger root is a thermogenic, expectorant, laxative, appetizer, stimulant, as well as an effective cure for stomach disorders. Hence, the dried ginger root is ground and used to cure a whole range of ailments like coughs, colds, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, inflammations of the joints, flatulence, motion sickness, colic, cholera, asthma, headaches, and even anorexia. Raw ginger is also a thermogenic, and is also an anti-flatulent, digestive, appetizer, and a laxative. 

Ginger is also used extensively in aromatherapy. An essential oil is extracted from steam distilling the unpeeled, dried and ground ginger root. Ginger oil is used by combining it with the oils of cedar wood, sandalwood, and patchouli, which renders a spicy and woody scent to the mix.

The active ingredients in ginger oil are oleoresin and terpenes, which are responsible for its lymph cleansing, antiseptic, mild constipation relief, and circulation-stimulating qualities. According to research, it has been shown that ginger reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the liver and blood, thereby lowering blood cholesterol. It has also been found that ginger blocks the effects of prostaglandin, which is a substance that is responsible for the inflammation of the blood vessels inside the brain, which is what causes migraine.

Ginger’s property of being a digestive aid is largely due to the shogoals and gingerols that it contains. These help to neutralize the acids in the stomach, stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, and tone the digestive tract’s muscles.

Ginger tea has been used as a remedy against flu and colds for centuries, both in India and China, as well as other countries in the east. According to Chinese culture, its powerful yang energy is what warms the lungs and stomach. Ginger tea has been used in China for 2,500 years to treat sore throat, nasal congestion, and sinus pain.

Here are a few refreshing ginger tea recipes that you can brew and sip to enjoy the unique flavor and aroma of this wonderful herb:

Plain Ginger Tea

This has an invigorating, spicy taste, and is used as a home remedy against cold, sore throat, flu, nausea and indigestion.

4 cups of water
2-inch fresh ginger piece
lemon slice and honey (optional)

First, peel and slice the ginger root. Put the water in a saucepan and bring it to boil. Add the slices of ginger into the boiling water. Reduce the heat, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Strain the liquid out, and add lemon and honey to taste.

Crushed Ice Ginger Tea

This makes a lovely refreshing tea, ideal for after a sweaty workout or on a hot summer day.

41/2 cups of water
A fresh piece of ginger, thinly sliced
Sugar syrup
Slices of lemon
Some crushed ice

Put the water in a saucepan, and bring it to boil. Add the sliced ginger and turn off the heat, and let the ginger tea steep for about 15 minutes. Strain out the ginger and refrigerate the decoction until it is cold. Remove and sweeten with sugar syrup, then pour it into tall glasses which have crushed ice in them, and garnish with lemon slices.

Lemongrass Flavored Ginger Tea

This feels wonderful if you drink it hot when you feel the flu or a cold coming on. It can be served either hot or chilled. It is especially comforting when traveling by car, boat, or airplane, since it alleviates feelings of nausea.

4 cups of water
¼ cup grated fresh ginger root
1 stalk lemongrass, sliced lengthwise
2 teaspoons of herbal tea
1 lemon
honey

Bring the water to boil then reduce the heat and add the grated ginger and lemongrass. Let it simmer for ten minutes or so. Turning off the heat add two teaspoons of herbal tea (any of your favorite). Strain the tea and add honey to sweeten and lemon for extra flavor.

Spicy Ginger Tea

If you are bored with the same old cappuccino or cafe au lait, try this. Not only is it a yummy alternative, but is lower in calories and fat too.

4 cups of water
4-5 slices of fresh ginger
A few strips of orange peel
4 pods of cardamom
4 cloves
2 cups of milk, low-fat
4 teaspoons of tea leaves (Assam)
Brown sugar (according to taste)

Put the water, cardamom, ginger slices, orange peel, and cloves in a saucepan, bring to boil, then cover and simmer for about ten minutes. Add the tea leaves and milk, and simmer for another two minutes. Turning off the heat, allow it to steep for about 4-5 minutes, or according to how strong you want it. Strain the tea, and add sugar according to taste. Serve hot.

Note:
  • You can also make ginger tea by adding a drop of ginger essential oil to one cup of hot water.
  • It is not advisable to take aspirin within two hours of drinking ginger tea since both are blood thinners.
  • The consumption of too much ginger tea may cause heartburn.
