THE WELLNESS HOME
One of the leading characteristics of the modern world is Stress – so much so that even
young children talk about being stressed!
Stress can take many forms and have many causes – not just the Emotional Stress of work
or relationships, but also the Physical Stresses of poor sleep, poor nutrition, pollution, or
insufficient exercise. When these accumulated Stresses build up in our lives and in our
bodies it can have severe consequences far beyond the individual stresses themselves.
Experts now agree that Stress is a major contributory factor in most of the leading illnesses in
the western world, including the four leading causes of death – heart disease, cancer,
strokes, & diabetes, also contributing to many of the allergy & breathing problems, energy
deficiency conditions, and mental disorders that people are now increasingly experiencing.
To put these issues in perspective, half of men and one third of women in the UK will develop
heart disease, while as many as one third of the population will develop cancer. Although
some people recognise this issue in the abstract, few really understand the severity and
potential impact on our lives.
Recent studies have started to quantify exactly how powerful Stress can be on our lives,
identifying that a stressful work environment can double the risk of death from heart attack,
stroke and other cardiovascular conditions, while the latest report from the “Whitehall II”
study, recently published in the “Archive of Internal Medicine” (24 October 2005), which is a
landmark health study of UK Civil Servants over more than 20 years, identifies that simply
experiencing issues of stressful relationships and perceptions of injustice within the
workplace can increase the risks by 50% alone.
Drawing on the work of Gina Lazenby in her book “The Healthy Home” (Conran Octopus
2000) the effects of stress on the body can be likened to a Water Barrel.
Think of the water inside the barrel as
the level of stress that gradually fills up
from the different pipes pouring into
it – “The Seven Stressors”.
When the level reaches the top and
starts over-flowing, that represents us
becoming ill. The lower the level in the
barrel, the healthier we are. What we
have to do, to keep in balance, is to
reduce the stress coming into the
barrel and turn on the tap to release
the stress from the bottom of the
barrel – “The De-Stressors”.

Through a portfolio of innovative and
patented technologies, Nikken has developed the Wellness Home – or Wellness Office – as
a sanctuary from the stresses of the modern world, a place where we can recover from the
stresses of the day, where we can apply effective De-Stressors to our Sleep and Relaxation,
to our Environment, to our Fitness, and to our Nutrition, to put us on the path to vitality and
the ability to live life to the full.

NIKKEN’S TECHNOLOGIES
When we look at the way in which the modern world creates stress, and the physical
consequences of stress, there are a number of common challenges:
Modern Society
• Time Demands
• Financial Pressures
• Industrialised Food
• Poor quality Sleep
• Inactive Lifestyle
• Environmental Pollution
Consequences for People
• Work-Life Imbalance
• Stress Reactions
• Dietary Concerns
• Reduced Performance
• Low Vitality & Energy
• Environmental Stress on the Body
Most people know what steps are needed to live a healthier life - four foundation areas for
improved health would be a clean Environment (primarily air, internal & external, and water),
balanced Nutrition, appropriate Exercise, and good quality Sleep, while restructuring our work
and income can help with time and financial pressures. However for most people there are
also barriers that get in the way of change – existing habits; and not being aware of
appropriate solutions that will realistically fit in to our lifestyles. How many gyms are full after
the latest New Year resolutions, and empty a few months later!
Nikken’s key understanding is to offer wellness technologies which we can adopt into our lives
without first having to change our habits. We can receive the benefits by sleeping in our own
bed, wearing our own shoes, sitting on our own seats, drinking fresh spring-like water and
breathing clean air in our homes and offices, and benefiting from natural wholefood nutrition.
Nikken offers innovative technologies in nine major areas:
- KenkoDream® Sleep Technology
– exclusive world-wide endorsement by the World Federation of Chiropractic.
- Kenko Magnetic Technology
- the original patented technological foundation for Nikken
- KenkoTherm® Far-Infrared Technology

Sleep – the foundation of Wellness. Nikken’s Sleep Systems have
the exclusive endorsement of the World Federation of Chiropractic
and bring together most of Nikken’s advanced technologies.
A Nikken “Sleep System” consists of a special mattress, quilt, and
pillow, which are designed together to consider not only comfort
and support – as would be expected – but additionally the thermal
environment, moisture, ventilation, hygiene, massage, stimulation,
relaxation, and the energetic environment, all together, to give the
best possible setting in which to experience the highest quality sleep.
Magnetics – designed to promote balance and relaxation. When the
body is less stressed physically, it brings greater reserves to its
other challenges, so it can even feel increased alertness, clarity,
and vitality. Nikken’s patented Kenko Magnetic technologies are
specifically designed to support the body. Whether designed into
.a seat, or a pair of insoles, or for topical application on the body,
Nikken’s magnetic technologies can be unobtrusive, sustaining
the body throughout the day.
KenkoTherm® Far-Infrared Technology – an advanced technology
ceramic fibre which is incorporated into Nikken’s quilts, clothing/joint
supports, and as a constituent part of many of Nikken’s other
applications. Amongst the many exciting benefits is the ability to
behave as an “intelligent” insulation, using deep penetrating farinfrared heat to maintain the body at a comfortable temperature in a
much wider range of environmental conditions than with normal
fibres, assisting with higher quality sleep, helping to reduce the risk
of injury, and helping the body’s internal processes.
PiMag® Water Technology – designed to create fresh spring-like
water in your own home or office – living, energized, water as if
you were drinking at the spring source yourself. Municipal water at
best contains Chlorine – a powerful oxidant which is stressful for
the body and designed to kill bacteria (both harmful bacteria, but
also natural, supportive, “good” bacteria), and at worst contains
contaminants and pollutants; while bottled water is expensive,
processed, bottled, shipped, stored, and shelved, usually in soft
plastic bottles with the potential to leach plasticizers into the
water, devoid of energy or life. Gold Seal certification by the
Water Quality Association.
The PiMag® Optimiser takes PiMag® water to the next level of
optimization, restructuring the molecular clusters for improved
absorption, and further locking in additional oxygen and energies.

NIKKEN’S PRODUCTS
®
Air Power5 Air Filtration Technology – a surprising fact is that the interiors of
our homes can be many times more polluted that the outside, even in centre-city
locations. Modern construction, lifestyle, energy-saving techniques, and cleaning
materials all combine to create a potentially stressful environment for our
bodies in our own homes and offices.
Nikken’s Air Power5® Air Filter System combines 5 different technologies
of cleaning and filtration, cleaning air to Hospital Operating Theatre
standard – down to the level of airborne bacteria. It also incorporates a
patented pollution-free negative ion generator, and an aromatherapy
facility. The unit has received the highest seal of approval from the British
Allergy Foundation.
Negative Ion Technology – the benefits of environments which are rich in
negative ions have been known for many years – natural environments
such as Forests, Beaches, and Waterfalls, are rich in negative ions, which
contribute to their “feel-good” factor; the world’s famous “angry winds” such
as the Mistral in France; the Santa Ana in California; the Chinook of
Western Canada; the Sirocco winds in Italy; and the Foehn in Switzerland
are all characterised by high levels of positive ions, as indeed are highly
trafficked city centres.
Nikken brings three innovations to Negative Ion Technology – a natural
passive technology for sleep and clothing/joint supports which requires no
external electricity or power; a unique and patented non-polluting air
generation technology, built into the Airpower5® system for high-volume
conditioning of the ambient air; and an exciting new negative ion Cooking
Technique, cooking in negative ions for healthier, more nutritious, and
better tasting food!
CardioStride® Technology – in keeping with the concepts of integrating
wellness into our daily lives, Nikken has created a range of speciallydesigned trainers, weighing up to 2kg/pr, which enable people to
experience effective calorie-burning, cardio-vascular, exercise while going
about their normal lives.
Nutrition – unique, specialist, & natural wholefood supplements incl.
– Ciaga™ – a unique blend of pomegranate juice, fruit nectars, and aloe,
with the highest ORAC anti-oxidant rating.
– Jade Greenzymes® – a world-leading, high anti-oxidant, and nutritionally
complete cold-processed extract from young barley shoots.
– Lactoferrin Gold 1.8 – a unique pro-biotic, promoting intestinal health and
improved digestion, designed for highest purity and activity, in partnership
with leading researcher Prof Narain Naidoo.
Skincare – the modern world has created a polluted environment which is
challenging and aging for the skin. With Nikken’s usual technical skill,
Nikken has created skincare solutions including Seisho™, a pH-balanced
natural herbal skincare programme for daily skin nutrition, and awardwinning Thalassokea™ face-mask technology, designed to offer a spaquality facial treatment in your own home (without the mess!), to help
support the skin and reduce premature aging.

THE WELLNESS DAY
How are Nikken’s Technologies and Products designed to be integrated into daily life?
Nikken’s technologies are designed for primary support to overall health and wellness in the four
foundation areas of Sleep and Rest/Relaxation, Environment, Fitness/Exercise, and Nutrition,
with commensurate benefits to particular problems or issues following on.
Probably the most powerful health benefit will be derived from improved quality of sleep, so the first
consideration will be Nikken Sleep Systems for the whole family – simply by sleeping in your own
bed, your body will be given an environment designed to promote the highest quality of sleep and to
assist in the process of recovering each night from the stresses of the day before.
Many people find that Nikken’s Air Power5® air filter will also add to sleep quality and comfort,
particularly noting the highest certification from the British Allergy Foundation if they have a
tendency towards allergies or asthma. The Air Power5® unit also incorporates Nikken’s patented
pollution-free negative-ion technology in an additional refreshing enhancement, and of course they have
even more applications for clean refreshing air throughout the day.
Another important element to sleep quality and the recovery process is adequate hydration.
Interestingly, by the time the body is aware of feeling thirsty, it is already significantly dehydrated.
Nikken’s PiMag® water is designed to create fresh spring-like water in our own homes and offices,
but in the process creates water which is also more drinkable and better absorbed – an important tool
in helping to ensure optimal hydration, both at night during our sleep, and also throughout the day.
Having left the Nikken Sleep System behind for the day, Nikken’s KenkoInsoles® are designed to
carry the benefits of Nikken’s magnetic technologies into the day’s activities in one’s shoes, with
KenkoStrides® adding far-infrared energies as well. Nikken’s CardioStride® shoes, carefully designed
and weighted, help generate calorie-burning cardiovascular exercise throughout the day’s normal
activities, without setting special time aside for exercise alone.
Nikken’s magnetic & far-infrared technologies are incorporated into the Kenko Thermowear
Convertible Jackets – also ideally suited for use in sports: lightweight, with removable sleeves, an
array of magnets across the shoulders, and a pocket for an additional magnetic pad in the back, all
supporting reduced stress, rotation, flexibility, and effective warmth. Many find them particularly suited
for Golf’; and all of these qualities have value in most sports and sporting performance, with many
world-class sports figures giving testimony to the value of Nikken’s technologies (4-time World
Champion boxer Evander Holyfield to name but one here).
Nikken’s dynamic magnetic massage device, the Magboy®, is ideally suited for optimal sports “warmups” and “warm-downs”, along with the KenkoTherm® support wraps for the joints and the back, both
for prevention and also if problems arise. Nikken’s passive devices such as the KenkoSeat® , Kenko
Relax Pads, jewelry, and other accessories, and the full range of other dynamic devices all have
excellent applications for a wide range of physical issues.
Nikken’s insight into wellness continues into Nutrition. Nikken’s herbal Seisho™ range is a daily skincare programme, designed to nourish and protect the skin from the harsh modern environment and
the effects of premature aging, with refreshing and revitalizing Thalassokea face-mask treatments
completing the process. Combined with Nikken’s new negative-ion cooking technology and foremost
wholefood supplements, Ciaga™, Jade Greenzymes®, Lactoferrin Gold 1.8, Bio-Directed NutriTechnology®, and PiMag® water, Nikken offers a complete support for Total Wellness.

THE TOTAL WELLNESS COMPANY
The Company.
Nikken is the European subsidiary of a Japanese company Nihon Kenko Zoushin Kenkyukai
(approx trans: Japan Health Research Development Corporation).
Known as the “Total Wellness Company”, and probably the leading Health & Wellness
company in the world, the company builds on its Japanese origins to design and introduce
leading, patented, unique health technologies to a world market.
Major international organisations such as
– The World Federation of Chiropractors,
– The British Allergy Foundation,
– The Water Quality Association,
– The American Walking Association
either endorse Nikken’s products exclusively or give them their highest seal of approval.
Founded in 1975 in Fukuoka, Japan, the company has a track record of stability for more
than 30 years, has received awards for industrial growth in Japan, and currently operates in
37 countries worldwide. Other countries will open in Europe and further afield as the company
continues to grow under an ambitious mid-term 5-year development plan.
Nikken holds a 5A1 credit rating from Dun & Bradstreet, the world’s leading credit rating
agency, and 5A1 is the highest rating that any company in the world can hold. To put the
rating in perspective, it is substantially higher than many commercial banks.
The Business Profile.
– A solution for people who don’t have enough time or money to do the things they really
want to do, and/or who don’t have the income or future security they would like – or will need.
– A path for almost anyone to take control of, and change, their own life through developing
their own independent business asset - low investment, low overheads, and no particular
previous qualifications or experience required – a simple process of “Discover it! Live it! Share
it!”
– Unique, exciting, valuable product line which makes a contribution to people’s lives.
– Suitable for busy people and will fit around other work, families, and other commitments.
– “Self-franchising” organisation creates a distributed structure of delegation and partnerships
and gives rise to the primary business advantage – distributors can develop substantial
distribution organisations of franchise-partners, both national and international, leading to
proportionately high income levels, while maintaining manageable commitments of personal time.
– Ideal timing to take advantage of growing international interests in natural health and the
demographics of an aging population.
Further Information.
