Getting healthy with Maqui berries

The Rihga Royal Hotel Tokyo is offering a special accommodation plan featuring treatment using Maqui berries, which are also known as Chilean wineberries, through March 2015.

In traditional medicine, Maqui extract may be used to treat diarrhea, inflammation or fever. With freeze-dried powder of the berries mixed with water, the hotel's therapists will offer customers the exclusive treatments in the hotel's junior suite rooms. Customers can choose either 60-minute facial or body treatments.

Also, as part of the plan, a pack of Maqui berry powder as well as a special smoothie of the berry will be served in the hotel's Garden Lounge.
