WINDHOEK – Door-to-door salespersons Pauline and Jurgen Hagen sell mobile sauna machines called the Aquao3zone Elite. The two vividly remembered filling out application forms on job sites only to get email after email telling them that the position was filled or that the position which they applied for was no longer available.
“It was very stressful with each passing day. It was quite hard being unemployed not knowing how your bills are going to get paid or something being turned off for lack of payment because there was no money for the bill,” Pauline said.
However, the young lady said she is grateful for what she “now has’, but she never knew door-to-door selling would be hard, especially when one has to convince people to buy. “Let’s face it, unless you are a man holding a ridiculously over-sized cheque with a camera crew behind you, nobody will be pleased to see a stranger walking up to their door selling some merchandise. Regardless of your clean appearance and humble smile, you will be greeted with either impatience, reluctance, or a stare so fiercely livid it sends shivers down your spine,” she says.
The couple sell Aquao3zone Elite machines, contraptions that are said to bring less stress, as well as reduce aches and pain among those who are tired. The mobile sauna or hydrotherapy machine, she says, is perfect for those who want to stay young, beautiful and healthy.
Hydrotherapy simply means therapy within water. The therapeutic use of water has been used since early civilizations such as by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese to treat disease and injury. To date the couple has sold ten hydrotheraphy machines each per month.
“In today’s modern world hydrotherapy is used widely in hospitals throughout the world to assist in the rehabilitation of spinal injury victims and patients recovering from long-term illnesses. Recently one patient in the Katutura Central Hospital was treated with hydrotherapy and reports indicate her remarkable recovery,” she said.
The Aquao3zone Elite is placed straight into a domestic bath with no plumbing or installation required. Chronic problems such as arthritis, muscle pains, back pain, rheumatism, poor circulation and general pain can all be relieved. Aquao3zone Elite can also relieve general stress and tension, ease digestive problems, stimulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.
“Everyday we try to drink at least six glasses of water between meals. We drink two glasses before breakfast. Water applied externally has a great healing power known from ancient times. The techniques of hydrotherapy whether applied in a public place or at home such as jets, sauna and different kinds of baths may lessen or even heal many illnesses,” added the husband.
