Qigong for Health: Chinese Traditional Exercises for Cure and Prevention

These techniques are the result of the very first Chi Kung/qigong that came into being in the 20th century. As described in Dr. David Palmer's Qigong Fever: Body, Science, and Utopia in China, Liu Guizhen learned his first techniques (from an old master, Liu Duzhou) in 1947. His ulcers were cured and the authorities told him to investigate further this mysterious energy-breathing medicine, which acquired the name of Chi Kung at that time. His findings were taught to many, including Masaru Takahashi, co-author of this book. Now anyone can learn the skills.
