Qi gong is a soft Gong fu exercises, and form of self-treatment, that acts as a gateway for many medical purposes. Qi gong is like yoga, however the practitioner is reaching for a goal that is more in-depth and specific for medical reasons. The Qigong stipulates that the vital energy Qi flows along 14 meridians that link the internal organs, with more than 300 acupuncture points on the fingers, toes, head, spine, and other parts of the body. It’s believed that illnesses result from an imbalance of qi-when the proportion is disturbed by an over-accumulation of qi in one place. The meditation, visualization, breathing, and movement exercises of Qigong seek to restore balance by breaking down stagnation in the flow of qi. As a result of the process, a healthy supply of qi is reestablished to the diseased or distressed parts of the body.

We have witnessed many successful stories of Qi gong helping many problems. The Qi gong exercises combine the body’s movement with the acupuncture meridian system to reduce stress and anxiety, while improving overall physical fitness, balance, and flexibility. By alleviating tension, they may also fight insomnia and relieve certain types of headaches. This also works well with problems such as migraines, hemorrhoids, constipation, diabetes, high blood pressure, menstrual problems, prostate trouble, and impotence.
