Är det dags för Qi Gong?

Qigong, the ancient Taoist art of self-healing, is a traditional Chinese medical therapy going back thousands of years that recently has been shown to reduce chronic fatigue symptoms. Translated as “life energy cultivation,” this program of gentle exercises and meditation significantly reduced fatigue scores in a randomized controlled trial. Qigong (pronounced in English as “chee-gong”) is similar to yoga in that it combines regulation of the body, mind, and breath through gentle exercise and meditation. In addition to decreasing fatigue, the study showed that qigong also led to significant improvements in validated measures of mental and physical health and spiritual well-being.
