HEALING ELECTRONIC MASSAGER

AFTON COMMUNICATIONS offers the Dong Yang Rhythm Touch Electronic Massager. The Rhythm Touch uses electronic impulses to stimulate the skin’s acupuncture points to improve circulation, massage, relax and strengthen muscles. It also helps to maintain muscle tone and ease tension. The unit’s compact size makes it perfect to use in the home, office or anywhere. Our tester was very much into sports before injuring his knee two years ago. He tried massage oils, creams, yoga and supplements with limited improvement. After using the Rhythm Touch twice, the fluid build-up in his knee drained. He now has full movement (including lateral, which was lost due to the initial injury) and is able to play sports at a competitive level. He continues to use the machine for maintenance and he finds the unit helpful to use before each event to warm up the leg muscles to increase flexibility and limit injuries.

GARDENING

SprinkLites™ by Gary Hartz were originally invented to water potted plants lining the front walk in an aesthetically pleasing manner. To make the sprinklers more attractive, hand-made sculptures were molded using clear polyester resin and super bright color changing LED’s were incorporated to create an amazing light show. SprinkLites™ come with six sculptured accent lights creating a rainbow of colors for indoor or outdoor use. For outdoor use, it can connect to 1/4" water lines to create lighted misters, drippers, sprayers and splitters. It can also be used to illuminate gardens, pools, paths, ponds, fountains, and more.
