Stress Balls Have Been Around a Long Time

People have been dealing with stress since the beginning of time, so there should be no surprise that the invention of stress balls also dates back thousands of years ago. Most often, the concept of stress balls is traced back to China, where members of the Han Dynasty worked to improve focus and manual dexterity by rotating and maneuvering walnuts (yes, walnuts!) around in their hands.

Eventually, during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 AD), people moved on to hand exercises using balls made of stone and metal, and then eventually in 1368 during the Ming Dynasty, the items we know of today, and the real influencer of modern day stress balls, Baoding balls, started being mass produced.

Used to improve hand strength and coordination, Baoding balls became the new walnuts, so to speak, and were also credited for relieving stress as they put weight on certain pressure points of the hand, resulting in better blood circulation and nerve stimulation. Though Baoding balls are still sold and used worldwide today, as time progressed, new, more affordable items became available on the market as new materials started to emerge.

Do Stress Balls Really Work?

Although some research suggests that stress balls won't directly decrease your heart rate or blood pressure, many healthcare professionals state that stress balls are useful for "progressive muscular tension," which is the idea that by tensing your muscles before relaxing them, you enable yourself to relax more thoroughly after you release, letting go of built-up, physical tension more effectively. As a fidget toy, stress balls are also thought to be good for mental health, as they allow users to focus energy and emotion on something other than what's causing stress.
