Product Description
Written as a reference for health care professionals and qigong practitioners, as well as for people who practice qigong for themselves, this book offers an informative guide for practicing qigong to prevent disease, cure ailments, and maintain overall health. The text is organized into five parts: An introduction to medical qigong, the three kinds of qigong regulation, qigong exercises, outgoing qigong, and treatment of illness with qigong.

Clear illustrations demonstrate how to protect overall health by strengthening internal organs and stimulating circulation with qigong exercises, massage, breathing, relaxation and meditation. Qigong exercises are demonstrated for each specific region of the body, such as lung, heart, teeth, and eyes, followed by qigong treatments for specific ailments such as hypertension, insomnia, bronchitis, impotence, asthma, hiccups, and the common cold. Background information includes the three regulations - of the body, breathing, and mental activities - and the effective training, guiding, and emission of qi. The text concludes with ten pages of acupressure point diagrams, and a glossary of terminology, making it an understandable and useful guide book for the beginner as much as the expert in the field of healing qigong.
