| Chi Kung Energy Treatments
Chi energy is one of the distinguishing factors of Chinese medical and martial theory. Unexplained by western medical science, Chi (also spelled as qi or ch�i) is the motive force that flows through all living things, giving them life.
There are 5 main functions to chi energy: (some examples of problems in those respective functions are listed in italics)
- Moving (pushing)
� Kinetic energy to power the internal organs, muscles, etc.: Asthma, slow heart beat/irrhythmia, indigestion, chronic fatigue syndrome, �no energy� feeling
- Holding (lifting)
� Urine, blood: Urinary incontinence, breakthrough bleeding (bloody noses, hemorrhoids, irregular menstrual cycle, irregular vaginal discharge)
- Transforming
� Turning raw food into refined substances: Obesity, anorexia, bloating, diarrhea, malnutrition, muscular dystrophy or atrophy
- Warming
: Cold hands & feet, constant feeling of coldness, infertility
- Protecting (immunity)
: Constantly catching colds & flus, allergies, injury prevention (in terms of martial arts)
Dr. Jae Man Kim is one of the few adepts at applying his chi energy to create a noticeable, rapid change in a patient�s status. Using only applied chi treatments, he has radically improved the conditions of patients with clinical depression, chronic fatigue syndromes, Raynaud�s Syndrome, and a host of other long standing ailments. This system of treatment is also a part of Orthodox Tui-Na, as handed down by Dr. Da-fang Yu and improved on by Dr. Kim.
