FAQ:

In the end, the principle of operation is the same as other anti-stress gadgets. You are doing things with your hands, and releasing nervous tension. The baoding balls are usually bought in pairs, so you can also make them sound when they collide with each other, and the sound they make when they collide is also very relaxing. Another alternative is to make them rotate, inside your hand, one around the other, while you make them collide.
