Today, you
may think in this technologically advanced society, (as I sit by my computer
writing this, and you sit by yours reading it) there are a whole range of
patented chemical drugs tailored for all ailments, so why use herbal medicines?
Herbs are as effective for healing today as they were
in our grandmothers' day, and for thousands of years before that. We may live
in a very different world today but the human body hasn't changed, in fact it's
often struggling to cope with ifs new modern environment.

Qigong (gi gong, chi-kung)
Qigong (gi gong and chi-kung): ancient Chinese exercise that stimulates and balances the flow of qi, or vital life energy by using breath, movement, and meditation to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate the blood and vital life energy. Certain qigong "masters" are considered to be "energetic healers," who via "external" qigong use some of their own energy to strengthen the vitality of others who have ailments.
