Sensory Muffs and Memory Muffs: Effective Tools for People with Dementia
Many innovative methods have been developed for the treatment of dementia. Sensory and memory muffs are two of them. The muffs provide physical and mental stimulation for dementia patients and also support for challenges in information processing.

I even had my doubts about the potential of international doll clothing sales when I started the business. However, in the spring of 2020, when I began an international doll clothing trade, the amazing results surprised me.
Between 2020 and 2024, I sold doll clothes to four continents...
