Functions of Internal Qigong

In ancient times Qigong was called “the way of eliminating diseases and prolonging life”. Through numerous modern researches, it has been verified that Qigong has unique effects in treating chronic and difficult diseases, which are resulted from systemic effects of meditation, physical postures or stretches, and special breathing patterns. In 2000, I give a presentation titled “Scientific Essence of Qigong” at the International Conference of Traditional Medicine, Beijing. Our researches have demonstrated that practicing internal Qigong, especially the Qigong breathing exercise is an effective way to learn self-control of the autonomic nervous system. For example, a slower breathing pattern could strengthen parasympathetic nervous tone against stress and other stress-related hypertonic sympathetic activities, that are beneficial to prevent or treat many illnesses, including hypertension, gastric ulcer, indigestion, asthma, and reduce side effects of chemo- or radiation therapy for cancer patients.
