Wolfgang's Qi Gong Tips

Wolfgang shows you the Mini Qi Gong program consisting of eight exercises:
Qi awakening
Connecting heaven and earth
View full moon
Liver cleanse
Purification breathing
Collect Qi
Qi Gong exercises
for better digestion

This Qi Gong program consists of 6 exercises that strengthen your digestion. In particular, the meridians of the stomach, spleen and liver are stimulated and balanced. The two exercises "Connecting Heaven and Earth" and "Looking at the Full Moon" are typical exercises for the Earth Element, with its meridians Stomach and Spleen. They represent our energetic center and must function optimally for a good digestion of food.


The liver also has an important digestive function, as the gallbladder must produce digestive juices for fat digestion. Another task of the liver is detoxification, that is, the elimination of those food components that are harmful. The exercises "Cleansing Liver" and "Cleansing Breathing" do exactly this and thereby also support the digestion, so that there is no slagging.

Background information

TCM background information

Loss of appetite

 

 

Loss of appetite can relate to individual foods or to the entire food intake. Causes include disorders of the digestive tract, such as intestinal diseases or stomach problems, but also psychological triggers such as stress and depression.

 

However, loss of appetite also often occurs in the case of flu and is then completely natural, because the body uses its resources to activate the immune system and valuable digestive energy is saved.

 

In some cases, however, a prolonged loss of appetite can indicate more serious illnesses and should be clarified by a doctor in any case.

 

From View of TCM loss of appetite is a clear sign of a Mil-Qi deficiency. That is, the spleen energy is naturally weak or it has become weaker and weaker over time due to improper dietary habits.

 

That is why in the acupuncture program you will find the most important spleen point, namely MP6. It has the effect of strengthening the spleen qi.

 

To further support this in its effect we supplement the program with St 36. These points are very often both used together because they both belong to the earth element.

 

CV 12 is the alarm point for the stomach and we also want to use it here to harmonize the stomach. The alarm points act more on the organ than on the meridian.

 

The point HK 6 is then another optional point, which also stimulates digestion. However, if the previous points have already brought improvement, you can also omit this point.

 

 

Acupen

CV 12 "Gathering point of the stomach" - Zhongwan

Alarm point of the stomach

 

- Location:

6 transverse fingers (4 cun) above the navel. In the middle of the distance between the navel and the tip of the sternum.

 

- Helps with:

Stomach bloating, acid regurgitation, loss of appetite

 

Comment:

Since this point is a so-called alarm point, it is quite important for the diagnosis. If it is painful, it is assumed that the stomach is involved. In addition, it is also the alarm point of the middle warmer. There is an upper, a middle and an under 3fold warmer

 

Sp 06 "Meeting place of the 3 Yin" - Sanyinjiao

One of the most important acupuncture points that strengthens the spleen

 

- Location:

4 transverse fingers above the tip of the inner ankle (malleolus internus)

 

- Helps with:

 Loss of appetite, fatigue, diarrhea, feeling of weakness in the lower extremities, menstrual disorders, in the absence of menstruation, impaired libido.

 

Comment:

This point is used in Chinese medicine to tonify the spleen energy. It is often used in combination with the point Ma36. Due to our diet, many suffer from MIlz-Qi deficiency, which manifests itself in sweet cravings, tiredness after lunch, general fatigue and soft stools. So this point is very important for us.

 

Another area of action of this point is that it removes moisture from the lower of the 3Warmers removed. Thus, it also has a specific effect on the urinary tract and is used here for micturition disorders, dysuria (pain during urination) and cloudy urine.

 

MP6 is also an important point to Blood and Yin strengthen and will therefore be Blood deficiency and Yin deficiency used.

 

MP6 is also one of the main points in any gynecological problems, as it regulates the uterus and menstruation and resolves pain.

 

The point also has a lot to offer on the psychological level. Thus, it has a strong calming effect on the mind and is therefore used for sleep disorders. Due to its effect on the liver energy, it also works very well with irritability.

 

St 36 "Three miles of the foot" - Zusanli

Most important point of the stomach meridian to strengthen digestion

 

- Location:

4 transverse fingers (3 cun) below the lower edge of the patella (knee cap) on the tibialis muscle

 

- Helps with:

indigestion, bloating, constipation, stomach pain, fatigue, headache, loss of appetite, blurred vision

 

Comment:

This point is a prominent point in TCM because it strengthens the post-heaven qi. What is meant by this is that it strengthens the stomach and spleen, those organs that are responsible for our energy intake through food.

 

Ma36 is a general toning point for the whole body, but also for the psyche, and is used for all symptoms of fatigue, tiredness and weakness.

 

Together with MP06, Le03 and Di04, it is one of the most famous and frequently used points in Chinese medicine.

 

Hk 06 "Inner gate" - Neiguan

Most important point for nausea,travel sickness, vomiting and seasickness.

 

- Location:

on the inside of the forearm, 3 transverse fingers (2cun) from the flexor crease, between the tendons

 

- Helps with:

Mind soothing, stomach problems, reflux, irregular or painful menstruation, clarified! chest pain (thorax), premenstrual depression, sleep disorders

 

Comment:

This is one of the important points in acupuncture with various effects. Firstly, it acts on the chest and can therefore be used for pain and unpleasant sensations in the chest. However, these should always also be clarified by a doctor.

 

It has a strong calming effect on the mind and is therefore used in all states of anxiety and restlessness.

 

Especially effective for women suffering from premenstrual depression.

 

In addition to its effect on the heart and liver, it also acts on the stomach, specifically directing qi downward in the case of "rebellious stomach qi". This is a condition in which the stomach energy does not flow downwards as it would naturally, but rises upwards due to congestion, leading to nausea and vomiting.

 

Qi Gong

The word Qi Gong consists of 2 syllables - Qi and Gong. The Chinese term "Qi" can be translated for us most likely by "life energy". But it contains more than this. It also means breath and air. In Chinese medicine, Qi is considered to be the invigorating force that flows through all living things. However, Qi is not only inside the body of a living being, but also outside. Qi also shows itself to us in nature. Thus animals, flowers and trees are flowed through by Qi. Qi is the living force that is inherent in everything and that makes life possible.

 

The Japanese call this force "Ki". In India it is called "Prana". It always means the same thing - the power and energy that is inherent in everything and keeps us alive. In Chinese medicine, health is only possible when the Qi in our body is pure, not polluted and can flow freely.

 

Due to bad living habits, in the course of time, energy blockages can occur in the body system and as a result, diseases can manifest, which can be physical or psychological in nature. Generally speaking, we can say that a living person has Qi throughout the body.

 

The word "gong means roughly "body work" or "success through perseverance and practice". Therefore Qi Gong is called "Work with the life energy". We learn to improve the flow and distribution of Qi in our body through movement and concentration to strengthen our health and bring body and mind into harmony. At the same time we learn to stand correctly, between heaven and earth. This significantly improves posture and many aches and pains disappear on their own.

 

Qi Gong is a holistic healing system with a long tradition, which has been continuously developed until today. It includes health-promoting postures, movement, self-massage, breathing techniques and meditation. Through these various exercise methods, Qi is supposed to be collected and stored in the body, like in a reservoir. The goal is to expel the impure Qi and absorb fresh pure Qi.

 

Qi Gong is not a medicine that is prescribed for a limited time, but rather it should be practiced daily. In this regard, 20 minutes of daily practice is enough to improve health and one's well-being to a great extent.

 

Anyone can practice qigong. There are exercises for every age and every state of health. The exercises can be practiced standing, sitting, lying down or walking. So even physically challenged people can easily practice Qi Gong and improve your health in a sustainable way.

Chinese herbs

The herbal therapy is called "the queen of TCM" in traditional Chinese medicine. This underlines its high status. Herbs form an important foundation of TCM and have a profound effect on the human organism. They can replenish deficiencies, expel states of fullness, warm or cool the body. They are generally referred to as herbs. Nevertheless, minerals are also used in the recipes.

 

Herbs are usually prescribed after a thorough diagnosis by a doctor. In this diagnosis, in addition to a conversation, attention is paid to the pulse, tongue and overall appearance of the person. Nevertheless, there are herbal mixtures that have proven themselves over the centuries for various problems.

 

We have made suggestions for all clinical pictures for such proven recipes. Nevertheless, in many cases it may be necessary to consult a doctor or therapist. Based on the individual situation, this person can recognize how the energetic situation really is at the moment and, based on this, recommend the optimal herbal mixture. Of course we do not have this possibility, because we cannot meet you personally. Nevertheless, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will try to help you as much as possible. 

 

For many disease patterns there are 2-3 herbal suggestions. The first suggestion is always the one that from my experience is suitable for most people. However, if there is no reaction, then try the second mixture that is suggested to you. 

 

However, herbal therapy needs some patience, because in most cases it works slowly and subtly. In return, there are no side effects and the effect is very long-lasting.
