What do the Chinese health ball do? Do they work? How?
Health Balls were made roughly 2000 years ago in China. They used to be used for martial arts training. Eventually, it was solely for the us of the Imperial family. Today, health balls are a treasured necessity for Chinese people. It helps to build up strength and to promote health.
What do Health Balls look like?
They come in a pair. They are usually gorgeously decorated with exotic designs and are often deemed as delightful little pieces of art. They are wear resistant, the design does not come off and they are not easily breakable. The balls are generally heavy and within each is bell mechanism that produces a lovely and therapeutic sound while exercising. They come in different sizes to match the size of one’s hand – usually the size of a golf ball. The pair I have comes in a gorgeous little box that is wrapped in Chinese silk embroidery.
What are the benefits?
According to the traditional Chinese theory of “jungluo”, there are various acupuncture points in the palm of one’s hand. When exercising with the balls, the acupuncture points are stimulated. This promotes greater health.

How to use?
Hold both balls in one palm. Move, twist and stretch your fingers in sequence so that the balls rotate either clockwise or anti-clockwise. You may exercise both hands in alteration or both at a time (with two pairs) and when more experienced is gained, you may use more than one pair of balls per palm.

Health Safety, being pregnant and having a pet ball python?
I must admit I dont know much about snakes, but my husband just got one from a friend. We have everything for it including a big aquarium with a sealed lid, and it does eat live mice. I am just concerned about germs and such since I am pregnant and we do have a 3 year old. Just wondering if anyone knows much about this?
I have several ball pythons that I have kept and bred through two pregnancies. If you have to handle rodents, make sure to wash your hands afterward.
Because ball pythons are egg laying, they *can* carry salmonella bacteria. This is unlikely if you do not have a gravid female or a clutch of eggs, but it is possible. Make sure that you and everyone else washes their hands after handling the snake, just to be on the safe side.
Also, I would suggest trying to switch your snake over the fresh killed or frozen/thawed mice rather than live. Live mice can cause injury and infection to the snake, not to mention, bringing live mice into your home runs you at a higher risk of bringing parasites like mites or worms into your home.
