Qigong for health covers Qigong for physical body health and mental health. From Qi and Qigong’s perspective, we see the body and mind as inseparable, and both belong to physical existence. Therefore, your body health issues, for instance, cancers, tumours, diabetes, skin problem, stomach and kidney problems, and headaches, are associated with mental health issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, and so on.
Qigong is not to treat diseases per se. It can balance your whole system of body, mind, and spirit to achieve holistic health so that the diseases which are the results of imbalance cannot exist. Qigong practice includes Qigong exercises and Qigong meditation.
