The Wang Ti Nei Ching or Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine is the earliest known text on medical qigong. It is believed to have been written during the reign of Emperor Huang Ti between the years 2697 B.C and 2596 B.C.
Medical qigong is a modality of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine); it is a way of affecting and directing qi for medical benefit rather than using needles, herbs or massage.
Medical qigong has gained popularity in the recent years. It has been used to treat all kinds of physical and emotional ailments.
In China and other countries like the US, medical qigong is used as complementary therapy for cancer. In China, major TCM universities and hospitals have dedicated departments for medical qigong.
Medical qigong consists of specific techniques that use the knowledge of the body's internal and external qi to purge, energise and balance the internal qi flow for healing.
