It is a system practiced for health maintenance, healing and increasing vitality. Dr. Memet Oz, MD, one of the most listened to doctor in America today and a frequent guest of Oprah, recently said, “If you want healthy longevity, do Qigong.” Learn how to improve your health using the gentle bending & stretching exercises of Qigong. Research has affirmed its healing impact for asthma, lung problems, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, IBS, digestive disorders, arthritis, and compliments cancer treatments.
