China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        The ancients to the role of qigong left many very the penetrating elaboration, of which GeHongZhi said most "in place", he is in "laid hold of qigong role will reduce" with the gas, the treatment of those suffering from disease ". Other various vital, and do the gas and about the gas and so on, this article has discussed the actual will also include the generalization of the role of qigong. To a more comprehensive understanding of the role of qigong, must first understand the reaction of acrobatics, also must understand qigong side effects, from this master of the appropriate crowd and qigong taboo people, so as to make the role of qigong an objective evaluation.

        The practice qigong reaction

        It is to point to in the human body appear in the process of exercise, qigong and acrobatics of the physiological, psychological reaction, it can be divided into the normal reaction and abnormal reaction two kinds big.

        Normal reaction

        The normal reaction type has a variety of, the specific LianGongZhe speaking, produced by the reaction is also because, because time inconsistency, common are:

        1. With "sweet sleep, eat sweet", as a representative of the nonspecific reaction, because of these responses not LianGongZhe also can appear, not qigong "patent", so call it as "nonspecific". Including appetite enhance bowel, normal, sleep good, energy and so on, these reaction usually appear early, after a few days of seen in exercising, more than ten days.

        2. "eight touch" represented the specificity of the reaction. The so-called "eight touch" is for all sorts of exercising the generalization of the reaction, have two kinds of different views, it somehow, itching, light and heavy, cold, warm, astringent, slippery, said, Yi off, cold, hot, float, heavy, strong, soft, so someone will both known collectively as "16 touch" or "eight touch 16 scene". But in fact here the "eight" and "16" are few, is the more words. Need to explain, eight of the touch is still the reaction there is exercising good a index, but is not absolutely, the quality and the quality of acrobatics eight touch no relationship. The GuXi work this should let nature take its course, don't pursue intentionally.

        Abnormal reaction

        That is not the normal reaction. Some of the "good faith" love qigong, in addition to overstate their role outside, still often say qigong "without side effects". In fact "is a medicine three minutes poison," also apply to qigong, and ancient physicians would have to recognize that. If Ting lee in the medical introduction of examples of staying in (the static reactive) and mantra, eight period of travelling kam side effects, call: "inside the move shipped du meridian, who is born for the spleen; luck diarrhea, abdominal distention; luck is long, long the DanTian is shipped, the forehead; urinetoplasma ratio for diarrhoea, staying in the brain or is it. As for the mantra, although can spread in situations, and the attacks in the empty, the sweat; eight period of jin is avoid can flow of blood, and the virtual fire avoid." These discusses many and clinical standards.

        The anomalies of qigong weight is differ, light person for acrobatics and produce the general adverse reaction, as soon as you stop exercising, or the experienced doctor processing, can eliminate soon. The abnormal reaction to self qigong feel abnormal see more, and objective less signs. Such as: headaches head swells, bosom frowsty chest pain, swelling, waist sour backache, stalking, rib abdominal pain, DanTian (or body overheating (or cold), sometimes visible to palpitations, then wait, generally not serious.

        Serious side effects called "qigong deviation", hereinafter referred to as "bias". The ancients of qigong deviation of records, the first of CaoPi in the DianLun ", refers to: "army JiJiu hong DongFen agriculture, learn Chi depending on their beginning gump bird, breathing deep breathing, the poor, for a gas closed impassability, very long but Sue." ZhangLu in the healing of zhang tong "will be divided into fire, deviation obsessed two kinds big, and in the book volumes six" mind door · run amok "in this paper discusses both the causes, performance and treatment. At present clinical symptoms of deviation will divided into body sex (relative to the zhang said the "fire") and central (equivalent to "obsessed") two kinds big, the former body, chest and abdomen, waist and other parts of pain or bilge stuffy give priority to, but have no spirit emotional unusual symptoms, or these symptoms are not important; The latter with the spiritual very emotional primarily, person can appear similar schizophrenia "appearance, or a direct result of schizophrenia. For work and special guidance for, is the effective measures to prevent deviation happen. Once appear deviation, in addition to stop exercising outside, still must be approved by experienced qigong doctors treatment (called "correction" learning).

        The role of qigong and characteristics

        Correctly understanding and objectively evaluate the role of qigong and characteristic, is to promote qi gong and one of the key point of qigong treatment.

        The main function of qi gong

        The family comprehensive theory, combined with the modern many people practice and the research of qigong results, the role of qigong three main areas-and, filling, expert. "And" mean to mediate, its basic meaning of the law and the law with eight, but referred to a wide range and method for.

        Research found that the "and" major qigong including five aspects, namely: the day ward off evil spirits between man and nature, combining static and portraits, differentiation ShiGong and Yin and Yang, the chang meridians and supplement each other in gas, and viscera. Modern research institute proven, qigong exercise on the autonomic nervous system function adjustment function, is equivalent to the "and".

        "Fill" in for their performance in qigong with strong functions, such as exercising to enhance the spirit of the defense after function, it can play the evil to is not ill effect; The increase of the gasification function, can make the LianGongZhe present a ruddy complexion, senstive reaction etc, such as energetic man qi's performance. Modern research found that qigong exercise can improve immune function, is "repair" one of the foundation.

        "Tong" is mainly refers to after exercise is the clear the meridians, and do the function of qi and activate blood circulation, the scientific research personnel to qigong "tong" action, do a lot of related research, found that qigong exercise can improve the microcirculation wrinkly to knit the form and function, still can reduce blood sticky, improve the erythrocyte deformation, sex, and eventually promote blood circulation role.

        The characteristics of qigong role

        As a kind of self physical and mental exercise, qigong action has the characteristics of its own, and these features can be summarized as four "sex"-initiative, integrity, biphasic, collaborative sex. Because qigong is a self body and mind exercise, whether insist to take exercise and exercise serious degree, all by LianGongZhe controls, this is qigong role characteristics initiative; Qigong exercise the integrity of the main performance for "three adjustable unity" operation requirements (bring); Biphasic means for the human body exercising some index (such as blood pressure, and heart rate, autonomous neural function, etc.), has the biphasic adjust action, it can restrain some too hyperthyroidism function, and can improve some too low function, make the function of hyperthyroidism and low, at the same time to the normal "close"; Collaborative sex refers to exercise and drug treatment such as qigong between measures to promote each other and enhance the curative effect is, have "1 + 1 > 2" role.

        Qigong role characteristics initiative, decide the good curative effect both doctors need to work hard together, and patients to the amount of effort, to whether or not they really believe that qigong have great relationship, so "teh spirit" in here are special meaning; Integrity decided qigong treatment powerfully slower, two-way feature determines different disorders can practice the same skills (reactive with different disease), the same kind of disease can practice different skills (with disease different work); Synergy feature decided to get good curative effect, must will qigong treatment with surgery, drugs, acupuncture, massage and other organic combination therapy in rehibilitation, still can and cream party, dietary supplements, such as medicinal food according with the application.
