A fantastic body shaper made of Bian Stone that dissolves everything! The stone has fantastic properties in itself as it is claimed to have infrared properties. Here at our place, we use it in the sauna for massage and to dissolve "slag" and the connective tissue -facia in English. It can also be used outside the sauna. This is another way to dissolve the connective tissue with mechanical pressure, where you rub it on the skin. In Yin Yoga, we stretch the connective tissue. Can be used on the whole body, also comfortable on the head/neck.
Important! Remember that this is a stone that must be treated with care, as it can break/crack.
Bian stones are pointed stones that were historically used in traditional Chinese medicine . They are generally considered to be a precursor to acupuncture , utilizing heated pointed stones rather than acupuncture needles in the treatment of back and neck pain. The stones are made from a variety of materials found along the river Si region of Shandong , China . [ 1 ]
History
Bian stone therapy [ 2 ] is one of humanity's oldest medical practices. The Bian-stone technique refers to the use of stone-based equipment to perform massaging , heating, and other operations. The devices are called bian stone tools. Bian-stone includes both the bian-stone technique and the tool. When used in medical institutions for therapeutic purposes, it is referred to as Bian-stone treatment.
Before acupuncture and moxibustion appeared, ancient Chinese people selected certain kinds of stone and ground it into a therapeutic tool that featured a sharp tip or an edge. Such shapes allowed the stone to be applied to the human body in different ways. The puncturing and pressing methods eventually evolved into acupuncture, while the heated-stone application evolved into moxibustion. A classic book notes that bian-stone treatment originated in the east of China, but moxibustion came from the North, where people had to warm themselves by fire. [ 3 ]
Known by three names - Needle Stone, Arrow-headed Stone, and Bian Stone - these stones were used in primitive society as a special medicinal tool. Excavations of New Stone Age ruins in Asia recovered multiple Bian-stone needles of varying lengths from multiple locations. The recovered stone needles have different ends for different procedures, including blood-letting, qi (energy) regulation, and incising. [ 3 ]
This technique disappeared during the Han Dynasty , [ 4 ] due to the introduction and use of iron. [ 3 ] The source of the material for making Bian-stone has been identified as Sibin Floating Stone. Bian stone appliances have since been devised and developed and therapeutic techniques explored.
Bian-stone is the first technique among the four major ancient medical practices of the " Yellow Emperor " (they are: Bian-stone, Acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs/drugs.) [ 5 ]
