How is Medical Qigong different from other forms of Qigong?
Medical Qigong is the oldest form of healthcare in China. Its emphasis is on freeing up and balancing the vital energy in the human body. Medical Qigong is designed to help practitioners take personal control of the prevention, treatment and healing of illness and injury. This practice also teaches medical practitioners to use the “inner Qi” to diagnose and heal. Medical Qigong helps to strengthen the three self-healing capabilities of the body: • Immune System – This is our self-defense system. When it is healthy and strong, this system can resist infectious diseases and prevent most illnesses. • Self-Healing and Recovery Capability – When Medical Qigong is practiced regularly, self-healing is enhanced. The body has the ability to heal itself despite the injury or disease. • Self-Repair and Regenerative Capability – When Medical Qigong is practiced regularly, the regenerative capabilities of the body repair the damage or injury and can even re-grow the body parts, if necessary.
