Bian Stone Therapy

Bian stone therapy, initially used in the Stone Age, is an ancient Chinese external treatment to heal patients by using stones as tools. Ancient people used it to cut abscesses, expel pus and apply it onto the injuries as warm compress. Today, new types of stone tools are designed by referring to the unearthed bian stones as well as the needs of modern people. The new bian stones are in the form of a block, anvil, ruler, stick, cone, ball, wheel and roller. They are used for different purposes, for example, pressing, rolling, rubbing, stabbing, scratching, knocking, scraping, twisting, rotating, vibrating, pulling, warming, cooling, and beating. It not only works to prevent diseases, maintain health and improve looks, but also to enhance sub-health state and deal with some disorders.
