Wolfgang's Qi Gong Tips
If you do Qi Gong for preventive reasons, it is quite possible to achieve good results with 15 minutes of daily practice. If you have a complaint, it is recommended to practice 2 times 15 minutes daily or 30 minutes at a time daily.
Basically, it is better to do 6 times 15 minutes Qi Gong, than once 1.5 hours. Therefore, I show you here a short variant of the 5 elements Qi Gong.

Mind calming, insomnia, nervousness and stage fright, anxiety.
Comment:
This is one of the important points in acupuncture, with a strong effect on the psyche. It has a strong calming effect on the mind and is therefore used for all states of anxiety and restlessness. It has a similar effect to He07. HK07 is used more for women, while He07 is used more for men.
Lu 07 "Interrupted sequence"- Lieque
Extraordinarily important lung point in TCM
- Location:
On the spoke, 2 transverse fingers above the flexion fold
- Helps with:
Shoulder pain, shortness of breath, breathing problems, asthma, bronchitis, neck headache, bladder problems, stuffy nose.
Comment:
This point is used in TCM for the elimination of pathogenic factors used, like Wind-cold or wind-heat. The point distributes the lung qi and lowers it.
The point is used especially in the early stages of a cold, as it opens the pores of the skin, facilitating sweating. This allows the pathogenic factor, whether cold or heat, to be expelled. The symptoms in the stage are, sneezing, stiff neck, headache and a general aversion to cold.
In that case, the Lu07 point is shared with the Di04 point.
The nose is the sensory organ of the lungs and therefore this point is often used for blocked or running nose. In this case, always together with the Di20 point.
Lu07 is an extremely effective point with an effect on the face and skull. Therefore, it can be combined with other points if the problem is in that area. It will direct the effect exactly there.
Also on the psychological level, the point can do a lot of good. Especially it works with worry, sorrow or sadness. The activation of Lu07 can make quietly suffering people cry, which has a healing effect.
Lu 09 "Great Abyss"- Taiyuan
Tonifies Qi and Yin of the lungs
- Location:
On the wrist crease in a depression next to the tendon of the pollicis longus muscle.
- Helps with:
cough, respiratory problems, wrist problems, chronic lung problems, immune system strengthening, mucus dissolving, weak blood circulation
Comment:
This point is used in TCM to tonify the lung qi, but also the thorax qi. This is the Qi of the heart and lungs. If someone has cold hands and a weak voice, one recognizes the weakness of this Qi and can then strengthen it again with the two points Lu09 and KG17.
Since the pulse palpation point is also seen as the confluence point of all blood vessels, the Lu09 point has a special effect on all blood vessels and is therefore called the master point of blood vessels.
Lu 10 "Fish border"- Yuji
Main point to dissolve heat in the lungs
- Location:
On the wrist crease in a depression next to the tendon of the pollicis longus muscle.

Cough, breathing problems, wrist problems, throat problems, sore throat.
Comment:
This point is mainly used in TCM to release heat in the lungs. Some call it the "anti-hangover point" because it can relieve the suffering of a night of partying with too much alcohol. This effect can be attributed to the heat-releasing effect that this point has. Alcohol generates heat in the body, especially high-proof alcohol.

It is often used as a remote point in the treatment of facial, oral, nasal and eye problems.
The combination LI 04 with Lv 03 is called "4 gates" and is very well known, because it is Wind from the head area dispels pain and calms the mind.
Di 04 also has a strong relation to the psyche and can therefore be needled to calm the mind and anxiety. In this case, the combination Di04 +Le03+LG24 is used.
Combine Di04 with another very important item, Ma36, and you have a brilliant combination to strengthen the immune system.
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.
