Health Benefits of Taiji & Qi Gong
Taiji can be used as a preventive health measure, as a way to maintain good health, or to help with a specific ailment. While taiji cannot cure disease, it is often recommended as a complementary therapy to conventional treatment. Specifically, Taijii can be used to help:
• Arthritis. By strengthening the muscles surrounding an arthritic joint and improving flexibility, Taiji increases range of motion without causing pain. Although Taiji cannot treat bone and cartilage damage caused by arthritis, it can lessen the severity and pain of the disease when started early enough.
• Balance. Research shows that practicing Taiji improves balance in older people and thus reduces the risk of falling--a major cause of death and disability in the elderly.
• Circulation problems. Taiji may enable the heart to pump more blood with each beat, thereby improving circulation.
• High blood pressure. A recent study done at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions revealed that Taiji lowered blood pressure almost as much as moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in older adults who had been sedentary.
• Multiple sclerosis. Preliminary studies suggest that Taiji helps people with MS to increase their physical functioning as well as their mental well-being.
• Stress. Although the evidence is limited, some studies have shown that Taiji is as effective as meditation and walking for reducing the amount of stress hormones in the body.
