Nuga Best

Disclaimer: I wasn’t PAID in part or any form to advertise this product. (I wish!) 😛 This is based on my personal experience.

As ate was getting her digiperm which took forever (4 hours!), I noticed a long que just outside the door of Tony & Jackey. And you already know that my middle name is Curiosity (thus forever getting me into trouble!), so I followed the snaking line to find what what the hoolabaloo was all about! ;P

The line started way before we got there at 10 am!
Korean company, NUGA BEST

I saw mostly lolas & lolos sitting inside waiting for their turn for goodness knows what! So F.C. (Feeling Close, as what ate’s friend Ramy calls me!!!), I started a conversation with them & pretty soon they were insisting I line up as well to try for FREE the “magic bed” that gave them relief from arthritis & other ailments yes, even CANCER!

Baloney, I thought! Omg, they would really spend their WHOLE day lining up just to get a FREE massage from the magic bed?!? @_@ So I went back to the parlor, brought out my ipad & googled this “magic bed”.

Armed with enough information, I walked up to the uniformed person (who was cleary in charge) and asked about the so called “magic bed”. The lady, Marjorie, invited me inside for a free trial. Before I go further, let me reiterate that the service they were giving to the people queuing was FREE! As in NO CHARGE! Every day, it was FREE -from the mouth of babes oldies!!! (Believe me, and not to be a snob, but the people in queue wouldn’t be able to afford the machines this Korean company was selling -so I really believe that there was “no catch” for them). All they had to do was line up & every 40 minutes, 30 or so people went in as the same amount of people went out holding 2 pcs. of small brown beads which they get every time they visit (FREE TOO!) and they collect those beads to make into a bracelet. (btw, Marjorie gave me 5 bands which if you buy from them costs around 2.5k per band!!!)

My fellow arthritic friends hehehe! ;P 
Going back to their invitation, I visibly shuddered (sorry about that!) coz the inside looked like the charity wing of a hospital. See the picture below, you’ll know what I mean.
See? Doesn’t it look like the charity wing of a hospital???
Seeing my reaction, Marjorie said they had a V.I.P. room further along & that’s where I can try out the “magic bed”. With nothing to lose, and my back WAS aching from the long wait, in the salon I happily followed her along.
The V.I.P. rooms where I was taken.. Wow F.S. naman ako (feeling sosi)! 😛
They have 3 kinds of beds. The jade (leftmost), another one that I didn’t quite catch, & The Tourmanium. 
This is their latest, The Tourmanium 500.




What is tourmanium
Developed by NUGA Medical for the first time in the world, the miraculous life-giving stone, tourmanium ceramics is manufactured through the processes of processing tourmaline, natural germanium, volcanic rock and elvan into microparticulates, followed by vacuum drying, screening the powder, making a form, and sintering/burning the form at higher than 1,300 ℃ with the most advanced technology. It is characterized by enamel-free polishing and best quality.

I lay down on this contraption & life as I knew it, was never the same! ;)) I SWEAR to you! My back pain was GONE! This “magic bed” kneaded, stretched & heated my back. The relief was immediate & I really didn’t want to get up! Except that my time was up. I can only do 40 minutes/session since the heat was too much & I could get burned.

I immediately asked what the going rate was for this “magic bed”. They said a price which made my eyes bulge out! @_@ Then they said there was a waitlist. They were out of stock so they can’t sell any to me at the moment! But I was free to visit them everyday in the V.I.P. room with NO CHARGE/NO QUEUE whatsoever!!! Are they for real???

Oh-em-gee!! Ok, before you judge me, GO to the NUGA BEST nearest you & try out the friggin’ contraption. Then tell me if I was right.. or right! I DARE YOU!!! ;P
And yes, I got on the waitlist. I’m getting the friggin’ “magic bed”. What came free with the bed since I have to wait for the next stock to be shipped..

This is what ate & I have been using for the past 3 days.
Call it psychological.. call it whatever you like, but I haven’t been experiencing back pain lately even after walking around Lucky Chinatown Mall the whole afternoon & waiting for ate until 9pm in school yesterday!
Ate’s been using it too coz it claims to melt fats in the abdominal area hehe.. 

With my new BFF, Marjorie! 😉
I was hoping for the wide bracelet but hey, you don’t choose your gifts! 😛
I’m thankful for the 5 stands they gave me. 1 intended for each of my family member but since the 2 boys are too macho to use one, I only gave my 2 girls & kept the 3 for myself teehee! ;))

    Hi kat! 🙂 tempur i think is 200k for a queen-sized bed? This is 150k but you can't lie down on it for long periods coz it's hard and ma-bato haha coz of the roller stones for massaging/kneading, and the tourmanium stones as well. But i'd buy this over tempur coz i have lower back pain & i've tried everything & this one seems to work best for me 🙂 but if I had extra money i'll buy both haha! 😛 You don't actually need to buy the bed, i've been using the mat for 4 days palang now & there's really a bug difference with my condition when I wake up. Before grabe i can't get up right away, now I can get out of bed without feeling as if my back was breaking! 🙂

    oh, and the mat above costs 17.5k but there's also an older model that's just rectangular that costs 15k. It folds too but you can put it over your shoulder, yun lang ang difference. They gave me the one above for "free" since it's the only stock they had at the time mabenta kasi yung heating mats in lieu of the bed. Anyway, bata ka pa naman haha you don't have back pains pa! ;)) so you don't need this yet. Get the tempur na for a good night's rest haha. And don't forget to tell me about it ha! Ikaw naman ang mag-review, haha! :-*

    My husband has been a regular customer of nugabest in our area. He said that it was really effective in treating some ailments you are experiencing. And true, it is all free for a 40minutes session. And secondly true, it is expensive if you want to buy one. Since we can’t afford, my husband will go as early as 4am to be accommodated as 1st batch. If you completed 20 sessions without absent, they will give you free items. My husband got nugabest tooth paste at first then come second, he received 6pcs of ceramic beads where he tie it to his neck. Sometimes, I jokingly said “anting-anting” nya. I would want to try one time if my time permits hoping to be relieved from back pains caused by household routine chores. Do your best to go to nugabest and God will do the rest. 🙂
