In qigong theory, the argument of taking qi as the foundation runs through, and in the practice of kungfu, the guiding point of strengthening vitality and consolidating foundation is also emphasized. Then, through what mechanism does Qigong realize the function of nourishing vitality? "Su Wen? The theory of innocence in ancient times pointed out: nothing is indifferent, and the true qi follows; Keep your spirit inside and stay away from illness. This is an incisive exposition and summary of the mechanism of Qigong nourishing qi. Traditional Chinese medicine regards essence, qi and spirit as the internal causes of human body, which generally reflects the functional state of human body. Qigong is a kind of self-exercise regimen that integrates muscle, bone, skin, essence, qi and spirit. Essence consists of congenital kidney essence and acquired grain essence, which act on the whole body through organs such as lung, heart and spleen to ensure the realization of physiological activities such as human growth, development and reproduction. Qigong has obvious influence and function on essence. As long as you practice properly and persevere, both the innate essence and the acquired essence will be strengthened and enriched.

Male patients have nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation, cold semen and thin semen, while female patients have leukorrhagia, metrorrhagia, menorrhagia,

Pathological amenorrhea and other phenomena belong to the pathological range of essence, and these pathological phenomena can get different effects through practice, which is the evidence that Qigong works on yin essence. For patients with dyspepsia and malnutrition, through the intersection of heart and kidney in Qigong, kidney yang is the secret, spleen yang gets kidney and health, and stomach yin gets kidney water and moisture, so that stomach fu-organs and health are good at accepting rot, spleen is transported and pulse is weak, and the clinical manifestations are increased appetite and food intake. The exuberant secretion of digestive glands, the strengthening of anabolism and the improvement of nutritional status are all evidence that Qigong plays a role in Shuigujing. The above is the expression of qigong on acquired essence. Qigong is also beneficial to innate essence. Congenital essence is hidden in the kidney, and qigong is intended to hide life in the abdomen, which is a technique of enriching essence and water. The innate essence depends on the cultivation of the acquired essence. Through sucking and pinching exercise, the yin essence is naturally rich and astringent, and the essence in the kidney is nourished by the yin essence, making it stronger and more beneficial, pure and refined, and self-sufficient. This is the inevitable trend of practicing essence. Obviously, Qigong's function of nourishing essence and water is the mechanism of Qigong's nourishing vitality. After practicing vitality, it can better stimulate and promote the normal and effective physiological activities of zang-fu organs, which is of great significance to maintaining health. In addition, it can further play the role of practicing qi and nourishing the spirit. God, including innate God and acquired knowledge. Shen Yuan is biochemical in innate vitality, and knowing God is biochemical in nature. Both Yuan God and Zhi God are derived from matter, and both react to matter. "Su Wen? The theory of transforming essence into qi says that those who get qi prosper and those who lose it die, and points out the importance of God in life activities, which is another important significance of Qigong to cultivate vitality.

adjust the yin and yang

Through experimental research and clinical observation, it is also confirmed that qigong has a universal influence on the balance of yin and yang. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that form and essence can be transformed into functions, which is a normal physiological phenomenon that yang comes from yin, but when the body is too active, form and essence can be consumed. After qigong exercise enters a quiet state, the excitation intensity of sympathetic nerve is weakened, gas metabolism is reduced, hyperresponsiveness is corrected, and hyperactivity symptoms are adjusted, which are the concrete manifestations of qigong's function of suppressing yang and supporting yin. According to the theory of kidney deficiency, it is observed that the limbs of patients with kidney-yang deficiency turn from cold to warm, urine ketosteroids return to normal level, and plasma adenosine triphosphate. The increase of cyclic adenosine monophosphate content and the enhancement of leukocyte phagocytosis are all manifestations of qigong's aphrodisiac effect. Qigong's function of regulating the dynamic balance of yin and yang is realized through the dual modulation of restraining the movement and helping the weak, which is manifested in different levels. This is the mechanism of qigong treatment and health care.

3. Dredge meridians and regulate qi and blood.

The health care function of Qigong is realized by dredging meridians. Clinically, it is observed that the measured values of meridians on both sides of limbs of patients with meridian obstruction and qi-blood imbalance are unequal or quite different; After practice, all weak qi and blood can be enhanced to varying degrees through practice. During the practice, it is also observed that the meridian induction is obvious, and the internal qi runs along the meridians such as Ren Du, which are the concrete manifestations of Qigong's function of dredging meridians.
