History: Chinese therapy balls have long been famed as one of the "three treasures" of Baoding, China. First produced during the Ming Dynasty 1368-1644, therapy iron balls have often been improved through the ages by skilled Chinese handicraftsmen. Originally, these balls were simple,  solid, cylindrical objects, Later,  handicraftsmen began designing hollow balls and inserting sounding plates that produced high and low tones when used. These lighter balls are easier to handle and the musical tones contribute to relaxation process that results from exercise in with them. According to traditional Chinese medical theory Jingluo (this term refers to various channels in the human body through which vital energy travels and where important acupuncture points are located), a person's fingers are connected by a variety of channels to vital organs of the human body, including the brain, heart, etc.   When used, the balls massage the acupuncture points in one's hands, contributing to smoother blood circulation, improved muscle tone, stronger bones, clearer thinking, and a relief of fatigue and worry which will lead to a prolonged and healthier life." Directions:  The balls are placed in one's hand and rotated in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.  This exercise will keep all of the points in one's hand in constant motion, with the muscles in one's fingers and forearms contracting and relaxing harmoniously.  Beginners should select balls of a smaller size as one's proficiency improves.  Ultimately, one can exercise both hands alternately or simultaneously and may even choose to use three or four balls in one hand. Maintenance:  The balls are made of metal and, hence, should be kept dry and clean.  Although the balls are strong and durable, owners should avoid violently knocking them against each other and against other solid objects and surfaces.  If one plans not to use them for a long period of time, it is advisable to coat the balls with wax or grease for maintenance and preservation.= = = = = = = = = = = = Buyers, please remember, I'm not claiming to be an expert on the items I sell.  I buy items I like and think are neat.  I make no claim as to the actual monetary value, I just hope someone else will enjoy and appreciate them like I have.
