Jade rollers are used to roll on your skin, usually in a downward motion. Patients learned where their qi meridians were, and rolled over the meridians and acupuncture points to free "stuck qi" points, so their qi would flow smoothly and resolve health issues. During the Mao Revolution, Chinese "barefoot doctors" roamed through the countryside and always carried jade rollers and gua sha tools as their medical tools.
I was very impressed with "real" Chinese medicine and returned every year for a long time, so I was able to meet the jade carver and learn how jade rollers were made. Our jade carver uses genuine and natural jade that he purchases from the jade mine and makes them to Chinese medicine standards. He made the classic double jade rollers, medium jade rollers with only the large roller, small rollers with only the small roller head.

I have had restless leg syndrome for many years, and getting treated in China was much more helpful than being treated in USA. I didn't need prescription medicine that causes side effects. The jade roller I use often is a larger roller with "needles" in the head. It improves circulation as well as smooths the qi that is stuck and causes pain and frustrating movement. I start the roller at my hips and slowly, mindfully roll towards my knees for awhile. Then roll across knees, where there are acupoints that affect the pain, then from knees to ankles for a few minutes. There are also acupoints in the bottom of the feet, so I use the roller on my feet for awhile.

Jade has good qi energy, and the jade rollers are on of the best combinations of a treatment with the jade qi and the roller part. Now they have become very popular for facial use, smoothing the skin, facial wrinkles, and improving blood flow. But of course like all jade now, you have to be careful you are getting "real jade", not marble or glass rollers that are sold as "jade".
You can trust you are getting the best quality jade rollers on Ying Yu Jade.
