MEDICAL BENEFITS OF TAI CHI POSTURES
Tai Chi Chuan heals the body by sending inner energy (Qi) through energy lines (meridians) in the body. The choreography of each posture moves Qi to the a specific inner organ. Some organs are considered extra important to tonify, thus some of the postures are repeated.
Tai Chi is known to be effective towards many problems, e.g. circulatory disorders. With daily training it’s also effective against back disorders. Research on hospitals in China has shown, that Tai Chi has a beneficial effect on patients undergoing regeneration after a sickbed of longer duration. The high blood pressure of these patients drops, just as the lung and heart functions are considerably improved.
