German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: befreit
"[Name of product] befreit und aktiviert dabei das Lymphsystem"

It's an ad about an infreared warmth device that stimulates circulation etc.

I cannot think of a proper expression for "befreien"...to liberate/free doesn't sound medical enough.

I need this asap, it's due in 1 hr!
Sorry!
