Qigong acupressure therapy is a particular form of qigong therapy that by applying Qi to to cure disease efficiently. It is a novel therapy way both to chinese and foreigners.According to the nature and severity of diseases, common techniques of massage, such as finger-pressing, vibrating, knocking, patting, grasping, kneading, push-rubbing and rolling are used to stimulate appropriate acupoints, meridians or special places on the body surface. Therapists use their hands (or other body parts), reinforced by concentrated qi, to promote circulation of qi and blood in the body and to restore normal functioning of impaired organs. This mode of treatment is called qigong acupressure therapy because fingers or palms are used to apply pressure with concentrated qi to acupoints or meridians for curing diseases.

     Qi is always applied in combination with concentration and awareness to the acupoint. Qigong acupressure with concentrated qi to cure diseases is a complicated therapeutic technique: it can only be practiced by a few qualified qigong experts.

     Because qigong acupressure originated from ancient martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine, it should be practiced following traditional Chinese medical theories and principles of diagnosis and treatment on overall analysis of the illness and the patient's condition. This therapy has been combined with modern medicine in clinical practice and its therapeutic mechanism can be explained by modern medical theories.

    1. As mentioned in ancient classical medical books, The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor: "The qi, blood, essence and spirit in human body may circulate through meridians and spread all over the body to adjust yin and yang, nourish muscles, bones and joints and save the organism's life"; and "the 12 meridians in the body can adjust the functions of five Zang Organs (five internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys) and six Fu Organs (vital organs of the human body) to keep a harmonious coordination between the human body and surrounding environment." Under normal physiological conditions, the meridians are a network of channels for qi and blood to circulate and spread all over the body and to hold the organism as an integrate living entity; but under pathological conditions, they may transmit pathogenic factors and pathological influence between organs and structures in the body to cause imbalance between yin and yang; disturbance and stagnation of ying (nutrients), wei (defensive energy), qi and blood and finally to cause sickness. As mentioned in ancient medical books: "If the closed 'door' or 'window' of meridians can be reopened and qi and blood may recover normal circulation, then the disease can be cured. Therefore, stagnated qi, proximal to the closed segment of meridian should be led forward to overcome the obstacle by applying adequate stimulation to the appropriate acupoints." After the acupoints are stimulated by finger-pressing, vibrating, knocking, patting, grasping, kneading, push-rubbing and rolling maneuvers, the meridianal qi can be activated, the blockage of meridian can be relieved, the circulation of qi and blood can be promoted, the balance between ying, wei, qi and blood can be restored and the functions of internal organs can be adjusted and integrated.

    2. when Yin and Yang can function well and balanced in human body then organs of our body can cooperate harmonious.If the balance between yin and yang is disturbed by noxious factors, the body is likely to attract illness. For example, influenza fever in children is usually caused by a deficiency in vital energy, impairment of wei qi (body resistance) and invasion by external wind and heat evils (pathogenic factors). As traditional Chinese physicians say, "External evils always attack people deficient in qi." The techniques of qigong acupressure deal with this situation by enhancing vital energy and expelling external evils from the body, thus preventing the loss of Qi and maintaining health and curing diseases.

    3. According to modern medicine, qigong acupressure cures diseases because it adjusts the functioning of the central nervous system, improves blood circulation and metabolism in the focus of disease and enhances the recovery and regeneration of damaged tissues of the lesion.

      In brief, qigong acupressure therapy has a long way to go and various functions to human body that  mainly include: relieving meridian blockages, promoting circulation of qi and blood, adjusting yin and yang  imbalance, restoring vital energy, expelling external evils, postponing the aging process as well as prolonging life span.
