Whenever we manage to center ourselves in this point, there is an automatic calming of the whole body and nervous system, which is fascinating and difficult to explain. One explanation would be that the energy from the head area is shifted downwards and thus thoughts come to rest.
And as we all know, stress is largely created in the mind.
The 8 exercises shown will help you relieve stress, whether it manifests itself physically or mentally. All it takes is regular practice of the exercises shown.
TCM background information
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.
St 25 "Pillar of Heaven" - Tianshu
Alarm point of the colon
- Location:
3 transverse fingers (2 cun) lateral to the navel
- Helps with:
Bloating, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, disturbed menstruation, abdominal pain, constipation.
Comment:
This point is very often used in acupuncture. It is used for fullness conditions of the stomach, especially diarrhea and abdominal pain.
On the psychological level, the point has a centering effect and helps to find one's "center" again. Here it has a similar effect as Sp 15.
MP15 "Large horizontal brush stroke" - Daheng
Commonly used point for the elimination of abdominal discomfort
- Location:
6 transverse fingers (4 cun) lateral to the navel
- Helps with:
Diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, depressed mood, cold hands and feet
Comment:
This point is an important point in traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of abdominal disorders. It especially strengthens the peristalsis of the intestines.
However, since the spleen also supplies the extremities, it is also indicated for cold hands and feet.
The point MP15 also removes moisture from the intestines and therefore has special importance in chronic diarrhea.
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
MP 6 "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.
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.

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.
