Qigong as Medicine

All Qigong can be called medical because the practice of it directly benefits health and body function. Although ancient in origin, Qigong is a new category of exercise called Meditative Movement (or what Harvard Medical School calls "moving medication") which combines movement, breathing, and awareness. Qigong's diaphragmatic breathing and mental focus encourage health, growth, restoration, digestion, and vitality mainly through modulation of the autonomic nervous system. Qigong helps with a variety of health issues, including quality of life, inflammation and immune function, psychological symptoms, and cardiovascular disorders, to name a few. From a physiological standpoint, Qigong practice puts the body into a state of relaxation and regeneration. This state is achieved by eliciting the relaxation response, coined by Dr. Herbert Benson, Associate Professor of Medicine at The Harvard Medical School to describe the healing and stress reducing effects of a mind-body practice.

Trends in Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong Use Among US Adults, 2002-2017. PMC6459666. 

"Although not proven conclusively from a Western Medical stand point, Qigong is an accepted treatment option in the fields of complementary and alternative medicine. Qigong treatment is also used extensively in China as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been included in the curriculum of Chinese universities. Qigong practice serves both a preventive and curative function. It is considered to be effective in improving the effects of many chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, allergy, asthma, arthritis, degenerative disk disease, cancer, depression, anxiety and addiction. Qigong works by improving the practitioners’ immunity response, increasing a person’s self-healing and self-recovery capabilities and enhancing one’s self-regeneration potential...." More from Lee Holden: Qi Gong For Self-Healing.

Some Chinese research has found that the curative effect of Chinese-Western medicine and Qigong therapy is superior to just Qigong therapy or just Chinese-Western therapies. This combination of medical paradigms and practices forms the basis of Integrative Medicine which incorporates the best practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine, and Qigong therapy. Examples are practicing Qigong during cancer recovery after a course of chemotherapy to improve quality of life, or the proven ability of Qigong to reduce the amount of prescription drugs required for treatment, or the combination of Qigong and the drugs was superior to the drugs alone.

What is the best Qigong for my specific illness?

The Qigong Institute does not offer medical advice. That being said, there are several opinions in the Qigong community about Qigong done for specific medical issues. One viewpoint is that there are specific Qigong exercises for specific issues. These "prescriptions" are given out by Oriental Medical Doctors (OMD), Doctors of Oriental Medicine (DOM), Medical Qigong Therapists, Masters of Medical Qigong, etc. On the other hand, there are many who argue that all Qigong can be considered “medical” by definition and that if you practice the fundamentals of Qigong regardless of the particular form or type, you get the medical/health benefit.

ECONOMIC ISSUES PREVENTING GOOD HEALTHCARE. The purpose of this systematic review is to outline some of the challenges (and potential opportunities) inherent with the current economic evaluation of healthcare and how they are impacting the quality of healthcare. From the search of the literature, the following factors were identified as impacting good healthcare: Ethical, Society, Research, Custom, Process, and Payment issues. These are discussed. Economic issues can be influential in causing health problems and in preventing good healthcare practices. In the Unites States, even the rich are being deprived of good healthcare because of the difficulty in assessing true healthcare costs.

The Biopsychosocial Model

Although very successful in some areas of medical diagnosis and treatment, Western Medicine is based on a bio-medical model which is not well-suited for treating chronic illness or mental conditions related to emotional, social, and nervous system disregulation. By contrast, the biopsychosocial model incorporates cognitive, perceptual, and emotional factors; Central Nervous System modulation; and social interaction when treating patients. Qigong is a biopsychosocial practice and therapy.

Wikipedia: The biopsychosocial model is a broad view that attributes disease outcome to the intricate, variable interaction of biological factors (genetic, biochemical, etc), psychological factors (mood, personality, behavior, etc.), and social factors (cultural, familial, socioeconomic, medical, etc.).

Follow Your Heart: Preventing and Healing from Cardiovascular Disease with Qi Gong Exercise

By Paul Cavel

All energy arts--from simple qi gong exercises to medical qi gong and nei gong systems, tai chi and bagua forms--work the major blood vessels of the body and therefore the vascular system. When trained accurately and with the right intent, they can take pressure away from the heart by pumping blood around the body to relax and balance blood pressure throughout the vascular system. In time and with sustained, accurate practice, you can completely alter the trajectory of your heart health while making space for relaxation and letting go--that which ultimately allows you to be free and feel at ease with life from deep within your heart centre. More...

Multifaceted physical activities such as tai ji (tai chi), qigong, and yoga involve varying combinations of neuromotor exercise, resistance exercise, and flexibility exercise. Neuromotor exercise training is beneficial as part of a comprehensive exercise program for older persons, especially to improve balance, agility, muscle strength, and reduce the risk of falls.

Integrating Qigong into Healthcare

Adding Qigong Health Care to the Healthcare System

By Tom Rogers and Josie Weaver. Qigong Institute.

Today's medicine is in the midst of an undeniable crisis. Calls to reform healthcare are in the forefront of economic and political discussions worldwide. Economic pressures reduce the amount of time physicians can spend with patients contributing to burnout among medical staff and endangering the patient... Politicians are getting involved as the public is calling for more affordable healthcare. 

The American healthcare industry is in a challenged state because it is an expensive system focused on financing medical intervention for treating disease after people are sick and not on safety, cost effectiveness, prevention, and actual health care before people get sick. The pandemic crisis with COVID-19 has exposed the need for personal and public health-care practices to enhance immunity and resilience. The nation has an opportunity to reimagine health care. Scientific research proves that Qigong is a non-invasive self-care practice that provides physical and emotional well-being and resilience that can be clinically measured. Qigong exercise results in the active creation of health and is a useful health intervention that could be more fully integrated into American healthcare.

This article originally appeared in the Summer 2021 issue of Qi Journal. [PDF].

Qigong Health Care can be a powerful component of Western models of healthcare systems which prioritize biopsychosocial whole person health and where prevention and wellness are primary aspects of care. The practice of Qigong combines physical exercise with the proven benefits of meditation and can be promoted to the public as an essential life skill. This publication describes the scientific research progress, issues, and challenges of integrating Qigong Health Care into Western medicine and healthcare.

“Since its founding under the leadership of the late Ken Sancier, The Qigong Institute has served as an objective organization for gathering and disseminating scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of Qigong and related practices.  The Institute’s latest report, An Introduction to Qigong Health Care: Meditative Movement Exercise for Whole Person Health––authored by Tom Rogers––is a comprehensive and very accessible resource for all interested in Qigong for health, including practitioners, teachers, scientists and policy makers.“

Preventative Medicine and Self-Healing Through Mind-Body Practices -- An Ancient Chinese Solution to the Contemporary Crisis in Healthcare

"Chinese medicine is wellness based, and its benefits are accomplished through functional enhancement. When a body heals any part, the whole participates. Only in the Western world do we, because medicine is pathology based and potentially dangerous, believe it is critical to attack specific pathogens or remove a particular diseased part very specifically. In the more primitive systems of medicine where the paradigm is based on healing by maximizing the function of the whole being on every level, it is well known that the whole body works together to resolve pain and heal disease. In the more whole person paradigm, the idea of treating a part or process pales next to the profound idea that, integrally, any part can only be transformed with the support of healing components, factors and processes that happen throughout the whole system." Dr. Roger Jahnke, Founder and Director of the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi.

By enhancing wellbeing and function – disease is neutralized (healed) or even better, disease is prevented.

Integrative Medicine Documentary

When Bill Moyers’ series, Healing and the Mind, premiered on PBS, integrative medicine still lay on the fringes of the U.S. health care system. Today, it is booming. Even the most conservative health institutions are beginning to practice therapies once considered “new age”— acupuncture, visualization, self-hypnosis and mindfulness— alongside the more traditional drugs and surgery. Equally important is a new attitude that treats the patient as a whole person rather than a cog in an assembly line. The New Medicine, a two-hour documentary, hosted by Dana Reeve, takes viewers inside medical schools, healthcare clinics, research institutions and private practices to examine the rapidly expanding world of integrative medicine.

Integrative Medicine in Universities and Research Institutions

Some universities have taken the lead in educating medical students, the public, and health care professionals on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies, including Qigong. A few innovative examples are Georgetown University Medical Center which has a Science-Based Master's Program in CAM. In addition, the University of Arizona's Center for Integrative Medicine focuses on the body's own healing mechanisms. The Harvard Medical School Osher Research Center focuses on complementary and integrative medicine through research, delivery of educational programs to the public and medical community as well as sustainable models of care delivery. The Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital is dedicated to the study and clinical practice of mind-body medicine. Likewise, the University of Massachusetts Medical School's Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society (CFM) was founded in 1995 to bring stress reduction techniques to a wide audience through its respected Stress Reduction Program. For a more comprehensive list of mainstream medical schools that are integrating CAM into their curriculum and offering CAM therapies, see The Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine.

Qigong Modulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System Thru Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Vagus Nerve Stimulation via Qigong Dramatically Reduces Inflammation

Typically, doctors prescribe medications to combat inflammation. However, there's growing evidence that another way to combat inflammation is by engaging the vagus nerve and improving “vagal tone" with mind-body practices such as Qigong. The article emphasizes that deep diaphragmatic breathing (fundamental to Qigong practice) —with a long, slow exhale—is key to stimulating the vagus nerve and slowing heart rate and lowering blood pressure. More...

This activates your vagus nerve that connects to your heart to lower blood pressure and heart rate. Slow breathing, with a roughly equal amount of time breathing in and out, increases the sensitivity of baroreceptors and vagal activation. More...

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine incorporates the best of conventional and complementary medical approaches, addressing not only physical symptoms, but also psychological, social, environmental and spiritual aspects of health and illness. It believes in stimulating the innate human capacity for healing, empowering patients in their own care, while providing them with choices in healthcare that are proven to be safe and effective.

The Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine provides complementary medical patient care; is a National Institutes of Health research center on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM); integrates CAM in the School of Medicine curriculum; and disseminates information on CAM. The term "Integrative Medicine" is slowly replacing "CAM".
