Below are a few examples of diseases that may benefit from chi kung practice:
Proper breathing techniques is used to reduce blood pressure. The use of deep diaphragmatic breathing to increase the intake and circulation of oxygen is recommended. Slow, regular abdominal breathing is thought to relax the muscles surrounding blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and reducing blood pressure.

Chi Kung is a natural treatment for anxiety and its associated symptoms. It focuses on improving the flow of qi in the body. In Chi Kung, the mind resides within the heart, not in the brain. Accordingly, anxiety is a sign of agitated heart energy. A heart energy imbalance leads to the physical symptoms of anxiety such as chest pain and shortness of breath. Chi Kung treats anxiety and its associated symptoms by unblocking the Qi pathways in the heart. Therefore, it calms the mind, restores mental balance, decreases the body’s stress hormones and moderates the patient’s response to their surrounding environment.
v) Immune deficiency
Anecdotal evidence suggested that Chi Kung helps in restoring and enhancing immune function by increasing the concentration of certain types of neurohormones and neutrophils needed for immune function. However, there is no evidence to suggest it can cure immune deficiency, nor is there sufficient evidence to conclude that all persons with immune deficiency syndromes will benefit from this practice. Immune deficiency can be a serious and life-threatening condition and it is important to seek out the assistance of licensed medical practitioners. Therefore, Chi Kung is only an adjunct therapy used for managing and enhancing the immune system.
