Chinese exercise balls can trace their use in use for thousands of years. These balls
are placed in the palm of the hand and are used in acupuncture points to amplify circulation.
These balls are also recognized as...Chinese Baoding Balls, Chinese Therapy
Balls, Chinese Stress Balls, and Chinese Health Balls and are believed
to have originated in Baoding, China, a town in the Heibei territory, at some stage in the Ming Dynasty. People
were probably stressed out from making all those vases. (LOL)
To use simply swivel the balls in his hand or if treating an area of the body that needs healing
stimulation you would reposition them over the area that is being treated. The Chinese exercise balls
are rotated in a spherical motion over the acupuncture points to help encourage better blood flow.
The theory is that the motion of the rotating balls will facilitate a boost in circulation and will discharge
energy which in turn increase healing. If the injury is in the hand or are a person can place the balls in their
hand and swivel them within their fingers.
This turning will cause the muscles in the forearm, fingers and hand to misgauge to release vital energy and build
beneficial muscle. These balls are often used for injury revitalization or as an work out tool to improve manual
dexterity and strength.
According to state Chinese medicine jingluo theory, "The nerves of the 10 fingertips
are linked to the heart."
The jingluo handles and stimulates finger nerves, connections between the 5 internal organs and the 6 hollow
organs rise, traversing the fingers affecting the iron ball.
The ball inturn will stimulate the palm's complementary pressure points, simultaneously the sphere's
massage and sound softly vibrates various jingluo pressure points, regulates and excites the cerebrum and main
nervous system, invigorates the brain ever-increasing mental balance.
The release of this positive energy refreshes and eliminates worry.
In addition to this because of bringing balance back to the body it is believed that it will
also eliminate fatigue, help prevent and lower high blood pressure, reduce finger and or wrist arthritis,
cure liver spots and hand tremors, and various other effects of diseases that are commonly associated with
aging.
So get some balls and give it a try. No pun
intended. Check out the links on this page for price and style information.
