Hi all,

Been having anxiety issues for the last 4 weeks on and off due to starting a new job. Been getting all the symptoms in the last few weeks, Diarrhea/ loose stools in the morning, trouble sleeping/staying asleep, anxious thoughts, lack of appetite, chills, etc.  

Told my osteopath i was having issues and they recommended that i use Chinese medicine balls (baoding balls) for my anxiety and stress, making sure to focus on them and move them slowly in each hand. I was a skeptic at first, but found that after moving them around in my hands for 20 minutes i felt calmer and more relaxed. 

I checked my fitbit while doing this last night and found my heart rate dropped from 88 bpm to 52 bpm, after doing it for 30 minutes.

Does anyone know how this works?
