Another form of stress ball dates back to ancient China. Traditionally made of wood, stone, or metal these were used throughout Chinese medicine as a way of alleviating many different maladies. Hollow stress balls of this type were often made with chimes inside that would ring pleasingly. Users are taught that they should try to rotate the balls in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion without allowing them to touch. It is rumored that when the Chinese stress toys were originally invented they were made of steel and were used as weapons. This could have resulted in the belief that they help to alleviate stress.
While Chinese Stress Ball can be quite effective at providing short term stress relief, you should consider other treatment if you have a long term stress problem, or find that the stress balls are not working for you after frequent usage.
