Product description

The Marbled Baoding Balls (Yin Yang Tai Chi Red)  are also known as "Chinese health balls", "Chinese meditation balls" or "exercise balls". Baoding, a city in northern China, is known for producing small, sounding balls, which are called Jiànshen qiú here. Translated, this means "balls for physical health", and their use is documented as early as the 14th century during the Chinese Ming Dynasty. In the past, people used nuts and fruits to train their skills. Later, the balls also had a spiritual effect. Now they are made of stone or metal and the spiritual belief remains: 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), numerous acupressure points on the hand are stimulated by rotational movements. In addition, it is believed that exercising with Baoding balls promotes fine motor skills of the fingers and thus promises relief from arthritis of the hands and finger joints.

Use

Try rolling the balls alternately to the left and right. If you're getting the hang of it, try to roll the balls without them touching each other. Once you master this skill, switch to a larger size. You can learn to spin them even on your fingertips. Over time, you will notice that your hands and fingers are more flexible. You should regularly change direction and hand.

Care:

Chromed steel balls are easy to care for, especially if you are an active exerciser. If you plan to leave the balls inactive for a while, treat them like the chrome on your car. Applying a light oil or car wax on their surface is enough to prevent rust formation.
