Medical Qi Gong, Tai Chi for Health and Energy Healing Resources
Martial arts and the varieties of Qi Gong have a long history in China. The principles behind these arts are the same foundational concepts which are involved in the practice of acupuncture and oriental medicine. In modern times, Qi Gong and martial arts, such as Tai Chi, are used by individuals to promote their own health and well being and by practitioners for healing purposes. Along with nutrition, Qi Gong is one of the more common lifestyle suggestions offered by acupuncturists and Chinese medicine practitioners.
Qigong has its application in a clinical sense being used to strengthen immunity and heal disease. There are many studies from researchers around the world which verify the work being done by practitioners using many styles of healing. In the west, other forms of energy healing such as Reiki and Therapeutic Touch are commonly used by nurses and other medical professionals along with healing arts practitioners to aid people with diseases from back pain to advanced cases of cancer.
