Qigong Medicine

By Hou Hou Chan, Barbara Benson, BJ Irvine

Officially, there are only two medical systems in China. One is Western (Conventional) Medicine and the other is Traditional Chinese Medicine. Using Q gōng to treat illnesses is called Q gōng Therapy. Because many Q gōng Therapy methods are evolved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine's (TCM) methods of treating illnesses, many people consider Q gōng Therapy as a branch of TCM. In fact, many TCM books have detailed descriptions on using various Q gōng methods in treatments. Although many theories such as Yīn-Y ng theory, and Meridian theory are the same in both TCM and Q gōng, TCM and Q gōng Therapy do not belong to the same system. They each have their own unique approach in diagnosis and treatment.
Q (Q gōng) diagnosis requires Q intuition and Q application ability. Not all practitioners are able to acquire the ability to perform Q diagnosis. On the other hand, Q treatment can be done by practicing Q gōng or using External Q . Therefore, Q gōng treatment with Q diagnosis is called Q gōng Medicine, without Q diagnosis it is called Q gōng Therapy, which is widely used in TCM. There are many writings on Q gōng therapy, but not on the theory or diagnostic methods.
This book has seven chapters, the first five chapters describe Q gōng Medicine's theories, diagnostic methods, treatments and training methods. Q diagnosis requires Q intuition and Q application ability, and these abilities are obtained through Q gōng training for most practitioners. The outcome of the Q therapy is dependent on the practitioner's Q cultivation (the quality and quantity of Q they possess). Therefore, the first five chapters of this book contain many detailed training methods in both diagnosis and treatments. Chapter Six focuses on Zh n ng Q gōng External Q Treatment. Using Nature Q instead of one's Dānti n Q to facilitate healing is an innovative approach; it is a hallmark of Zh n ng Q gōng. Chapter Seven describes the causes and the preventions of some Q reactions and Q sensations one may experience when one practices Q gōng and meditation.
