Hi! It’s Sensei.

“Every day is overtime, and my body is exhausted…”
“My back (Koshi / 腰) and legs (Ashi / 足) hurt so much that it’s hard to wake up in the morning…”

Trainees’ work is really tough because there is a lot of heavy lifting and standing, right?
Are you just taking a shower and collapsing onto your bed?

If so, your fatigue won’t go away!
Today, I (Sensei) will show you 3 “Magic items that make fatigue disappear instantly” that all Japanese workers use.
All of them are cheap and can be bought immediately on Amazon or at a Drugstore (Yakkyoku / 薬局).


1. Pain disappears just by sticking it on: “Salonpas (サロンパス)”

Applying pain relief patch

The most famous magic sticker in Japan is “Salonpas (サロンパス)”.
You might have it in Vietnam or Indonesia too, but the Japanese version is incredibly effective.

Salonpas
🌿 Features:
  • Just stick it on the painful areas (shoulders, back, calves) before sleeping.
  • It feels tingly and cool!
  • The next morning, your body feels light like a lie.

It’s very cheap, costing only a few yen per sheet.
If you think “My back hurts!”, don’t endure it—just stick this on.


2. Turn your bath into a hot spring: “Bub (バブ)”

Are you just finishing with a shower (Shawa / シャワー) every day?
If you want to remove fatigue, soaking in hot water (Ofuro / お風呂) is the best.

At that time, let’s put in one tablet of “Bub (バブ)”.

🛁 Amazing effects of Bub:

The moment you put it in the water, bubbles (Tansan / 炭酸) come out.
These bubbles warm up your body and melt away muscle fatigue.
It makes you feel like you are in a Japanese “Hot Spring (Onsen / 温泉)”!

It costs about 50 yen per piece.
On days when you think “I’m so tired!”, relax in a bath with Bub.


3. For people with swollen legs: “Kyusoku Jikan (休足時間)”

“My legs feel heavy like an elephant from standing all day…”
For those people, try this: “Kyusoku Jikan (休足時間)”.

🦵 Cool and comfortable!

This is a cooling gel sheet specifically for legs.
I want you to try sticking it on your calves (Fukurahagi / ふくらはぎ) or soles of your feet after a bath.

You can think of it as the leg version of “Hiepita (冷えピタ)”.
With the scent of herbs, you can sleep very relaxedly.


Summary: Caring for your body is an investment

There’s no point in being stingy with items that cost a few hundred yen if you break your body and become unable to work.
To work energetically tomorrow, give your body a small present.

If you buy in bulk on Amazon, you can share them with everyone in the dormitory!
