(Nice chinese -> english translation)
Chinese Healthy Balls date all the way back to the Ming Dynasty. The balls have been said to stimulate the various acupuncture points on the hand.
It is believed that exercising with the health balls can assist with healing and improve many ailments:
? Prevent & Cure Hypertension-By the repetitiveness ? Relieve fatigue, by improved circulation of Chi/Qi energy ? Tendonitis-By using prior to activities using the hands ? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome-By improving the wrist and hands ? Memory Loss-By improving the circulation of Chi energy ? Arthritis-By keeping the joints limber and movement of Chi
? Stress Reduction-By improving Chi flow and repetitiveness ? Improve general health and circulation through Chi movement.
We think they are really cool, both to look at and to use. Each ball has a sounding plate inside, that chimes when it is shaken. If you are using the balls "properly", the balls are supposed to make a sort of whirring sound, smooth and melodious. This has never happened for me ( I must not be doing it right), but I like to use them, love the sound, and feel it could be of some help to people with dexterity or motor coordination problems as well as arthritis. We have sold many sets to people that use them for relaxation and stress relief, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
As always, check with your physician or practioner before starting any new kind of therapy. Some things can aggravate, rather than help :)
