The Baoding Dragon and Phoenix white balls are also known as "Chinese health balls", "Chinese meditation balls" or "exercise balls". Baoding, a city in northern China, is famous for producing small, sounding balls, known here as Jiànshen qiú. In translation, it means "balls for physical health" and their use has been documented since the 14th century during the Chinese Ming dynasty. In the past, people used nuts and fruit to train their skills. Later, the balls also had a spiritual effect. Now they are made of stone or metal, and the spiritual belief is held: if you let both sound balls rotate in your hand, the female yin and male yang are supposed to harmonize according to Taoist doctrine. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), they stimulate numerous acupressure points of the hand through rotational movements. In addition, it is believed that exercising with Baoding balls promotes fine motor skills of the fingers and thus promises relief even with arthritis of the hands and finger joints.
