Literally meaning "vapor", "air", or "breath", the word ''qi'' is often translated as "vital energy", "vital force", "material energy", or simply as "energy". ''Qi'' is the central underlying principle in Chinese traditional medicine and in Chinese martial arts. The practice of cultivating and balancing ''qi'' is called '' qigong''. Believers in ''qi'' describe it as a vital force, the flow of which must be unimpeded for health.

It is now working its way into modern health care systems, as non-scientific alternative therapies be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
