what is qigong

Dealing with breast cancer makes tremendous demands on your energy or life force. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), we call this life force, Qi (chee). It’s critical to have a healing plan that helps build your energy foundation. The most powerful tool traditional Chinese medicine has to offer women undergoing breast cancer treatment is Qigong (chee-kung). This ancient system of movements can increase Qi, your vital energy, boost your immune system, and unlock your body's own healing power. Practiced on a regular basis, it can also help prevent a recurrence of breast cancer.

We’d like to introduce you to seven unique Wu Ming Qigong energy movements to use on your healing journey. Each movement can help unblock stagnant Qi in the meridians, invisible energy pathways that run through the breast area. These meridians are the Stomach, Liver, and Kidney.

Traditional Chinese Medicine World Foundation also offers a DVD of healing Qigong movements for breast health. Learn more about how energy stagnation in the breast area can lead to masses and tumors and even breast cancer.
