Qigong is well known for its phenomenal healing effects. Modern scientific qigong is especially famous for its healing miracles. People diagnosed with critical illnesses lost their faith in western medical treatment but found hope in qigong treatment.

Besides those infectious diseases and surgical diseases, almost all other diseases and illnesses are self-made or self-help, which means that the root of the disease is within. If one creates their own disease, one can cure themselves from within. Qigong and meditation practice gives people methods to heal themselves. That is how qigong healing works.

Diet, exercise, and sleep all work on the same river. If you are already doing all three and still feel drained, the answer may be that the other river has never been touched.
