Iron Baoding b alls and Chinese Balls

Emperors Ball and Balls sfor Health

The first Baoding balls were made of solid iron. Said to improve health, the balls were used for hundreds of years by all social classes of Chinese citizens, including emperors. It may be hard to believe that a couple of spheres rotating in your palm would do anything for your health, but the Chinese understand the body differently than westerners. According to Dr. Chou of the Chi Kung Clinic of Canada, western medicine sees each organ and part of the body as separate and controllable entities, while Chinese medicine sees all bodily systems as interconnected. For example, if a person walked into a doctors office complaining about a headache, the doctor might prescribe him painkillers to ease the pain. The problem is that the headache isnt the real issue, it is only the effect of a cause,it is a symptom.
