Inspired by the wellness rituals of the rich and famous, HigherDOSE is home to the ingenious {Infrared Sauna Blanket V3}; designed in part by the founder of Clearlight Saunas - Dr. Raleigh Duncan - it's built around the belief that there's nothing like a session in a sauna to have you feeling simultaneously relaxed and rejuvenated.

The bed of nails has been used by Indian mystics for centuries in the practice of healing and meditation and now it's been re-invented with a Scandinavian twist to give you a whole range of benefits, from soothing sleeplessness and easing stress to helping you re-balance after a long haul flight, alleviating aches and pains and even reducing the appearance of cellulite (the spikes help the body rid itself of toxins and increase blood flow, to assist the breakdown of stubborn fat groupings). It's also brilliant for easing neck and back pain, and can even have a positive impact on your complexion!
Reinventing the wellness space with advanced tech solutions, Theragun’s aim is to help you take charge of your physical wellbeing.

Living by the mantra 'good things come to those who sweat', the wife-and-husband duo behind Bala set out in 2018 to create a line of functional fitness accessories that could fit into your everyday routine as easily as your workout sessions.

Adopting (and altering) the age-old adage 'you are what you drink', the minds behind LARQ are committed to helping you access pristine drinking water, easily and sustainably. We don't know about you but in the past we've been a little loose with the upkeep of our reusable water bottles - some are definitely overdue being recycled - and that's where LARQ comes in; aligning innovative technology with inspirational design, their award-winning {LARQ Bottle} actually purifies your water, eradicating up to 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.99% of viruses, with its proprietary PureVis™ technology. In the words of TIME magazine, it's "a huge plus for people who want a sustainable water bottle alternative that doesn't require constant scrubbing to keep water tasting great."
The design is built around the brand's proprietary PureVis™ technology that harnesses UV-C light to eradicate germs by triggering a photochemical reaction that destroys their DNA. As well as purifying water in 60 seconds when you press the button, it also activates on its own every two hours to keep your water and bottle clean. It's double-wall insulated - it keeps water cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 - and powered by a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery that lasts up to 1 month off of one charge, based on estimated usage of 3-4 cycles a day. We know what you're thinking, just how many filters am I going to have to fork out for? The answer is none! This bottle is filter-free so you won't need to worry about buying replacements. Instead, you can be happy in the knowledge that you invested in a sustainable, self-cleaning bottle.
