My-my! Have you been to a wet market? Too dirty for your liking? Well, if that applies to you, I must tell you that you miss out a lot of things that can be found there.

If you think that you can only find veggies, meat, fishes, groceries etc. in a wet market, then you need to expand your horizon by paying a visit to it. How if I were to tell you that you can find something that is beneficial to your health? Something that can treats your rheumatic, soothe your sored bones, muscle tingling or numbness?

Well, you might say," I don't suffer any of the above symptoms; my body condition is perfect!" So, you don't need something that keep the rheumatism problem at bay. You would only need it when you got it. Hmmm, what happen to preventive maintenance? Why must one wait for such a disease to enter one life and then only start treating it?

Anyway, the thing I am talking today come in the shape of a metal roller, sort of. It is made entirely of chromed silver metal. It mimics a mini hand driver except that it is of bigger size and its tip can be rolled.

       
   
Well, actually it acts like a massager with its rolling head cylinder. So how do you the health device? First, light up the one end of the "incense" (which is made from multiple number of chinese herbs, in Cantonese we called it "Ngai Cou"). Then, insert the flaming incense into the hollow end of the metal pen massager.

Press one or two times (like when you use a mechanical pencil to make the lead come out) and then start rolling the cylindrical netting around your body. I mean hold the massager handle and touch the caged netting and roll it to your arm, palm, face, back of your neck, sole, leg etc. Well, you get the picture. After some rolling moment passes, hit the pen massager against a bowl or container so that its burned ashes could fall out and drop to the container.

Perhaps, a video on how to use the pen massager would make your understanding easier.

During the process, you will feel very soothing and comfortable. This is more so when you roll in at the back of your neck. The warm metal netting (heated by the burning herbal incense inside it) provides the heat which is transfer to the body part that is in contact. This promotes blood circulation around the body and you would feel very refreshing after doing so. Not only that, you would sleep soundly as a baby at night!

One herbal incense can last for 45 minutes.In my initial "blood circulation promotion exercise", I found that the herbal incense kept going off. How do I know that? Because the white flame emitting from the holes in the netting had vanished! Ahem, you don't need a mouse to operate the health device. OK?

I was told that the incense would keep on burning if I keep on rolling its tubular netting as such a process can generate wind to continuously lighting up the incense inside it. However, the incense stop burning after a minute or so. maybe, this upkeeping of incense burning need some skill to it.

Anyhow, I found out that by keeping a fan switched on near me, the incense burnt continuously. Well, maybe letting the incences get some sunlight for a couple of minutes will also make it burn better as such an act would dry out the humidity in it.   

UPDATE 9 Oct 10

This morning the seller informed me that in order to keep the "King of Herbs" (Pat Cou Chi Wong) stick burning, dry it in the sun. Or if you cannot wait for the sunlight to come out, put it in the microwave oven for a minute to get the moisture out of it.


Want to sleep as soundly as a baby at night? Just roll the gadget onto the sole of your foot. If you experience pain at a certain part of your body, just massage that particular area on your body to promote blood flow on that area and finally you would be able to get rid of the pain. These are the tips given by the seller.
