Qigong For Digestion – Introduction

In this video you can follow along with some Qigong for digestion. This Qigong exercise can help you if you suffer with digestive issues such as colitis, diverticulitis, IBS (see here for a previous video about IBS) and indigestion, amongst other stomach and digestive related problems. Because it communicates with all the other systems in our bodies, when our gut is healthy the rest of our body is more likely to function at its optimum. The sequence is as follows:

1. Begin with Abdominal Breathing to calm the mind and prepare yourself for your practice;

2. Raising Up A Single Hand exercise (which is part of the Ba Duan Jin – 8 Pieces of Brocade method) to harmonise and promote free flow of Qi through the digestive system;

3. The use of the acupuncture point Zusanli (Stomach 36) and how you can apply pressure to this point. This acupressure point has many effects including:
– helping to improve all issues involving the Stomach and Spleen systems, e.g. diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, nausea, digestive discomfort and pain, indigestion;
tonifying (building up) deficient Qi and/or Blood so that you feel less exhausted;
tonifying Wei (Defensive) Qi so optimising the function of the immune system;
maintaining general health, especially in cases of weakness, low energy levels and chronic illness;
– helping to stabilise mental and emotional health in cases such as depression, anxiety, nervousness, PMS.
