Baoding Balls
According to traditional medical theory, the ten fingers are linked to the heart and other major organs of the body through a network of channels through which the vital energy of the body flows. By rotating the two balls in your palm with your fingers, the acupuncture points on the hand are stimulated. This will result in an unimpeded flow of blood and vital energy throughout the body. Regular exercise with the Baoding Balls in the hands has been known to cure hypertension, strengthen the bones and muscles and prevent various ailments.
Baoding Iron Health Balls originated in Baoding City, Hebei Province, during the Northern-Song Dynasty (960-1127 AD). Originally made for Buddhist martial-arts use, they eventually were manufactured as hollow balls with a soundboard inside for the Imperial Court.
Manipulation of the ball and hearing its sound has a soothing effect on the mind. Exercising the hands with the Baoding Balls improves circulation & relaxes the hand muscles, bringing relief to arthritis sufferers and those with other ailments of the hands.
