Qigong Balls (also called Baoding Balls): Our Chinese Qigong health balls are solid and carved from wood, metal, or stone. They will be perfect for use for medical and therapeutic purposes, or simply as decorative objects. The use of Qigong balls dates back to the Northern Song dynasty in the 20th century. At this time, health balls are full and especially used in martial arts. Chinese balls began to be used during the Ming Dynasty (14th century) as musical instruments. It was from this moment that Baoding balls were used as therapeutic balls in traditional Chinese medicine, based on an acupressure system linked to the theory of energies (Qi) and the body's meridians.
