Beauty - Is It Only Skin Deep? SALIVA VS L’OREAL What is beauty? It is something that attracts us to someone or something and makes us feel good about them. Even though most people would agree about beauty in regard to human looks, shape, hair, teeth etc., it still is a relative thing. It's not only what we see (although very important and for many - most important) but also what we hear, smell, touch, taste and feel. For example, we like someone even more, because of the way they speak or sound, or we simply feel good about someone for no apparent reason. Or opposite to that, we do not li ..read more

Chinese Medicine Is Not Alternative Medicine Over a century ago, when western medicine was first introduced to China, the Chinese were very curious to see how this "alternative" medicine worked. They were quite surprised to find this new medicine knew nothing about Chi or life force (what Chinese medicine is based on) which is the difference between a living body and a dead body (what remains after Chi has left the body). But anyway, they liked the stethoscopes and hammers that can make the "leg jump". They would say, "There is this funny medicine where they treat your stomach if you have a ..read more

Is There A Cure For Cancer? Did you know that there is a law in this country prohibiting health practitioners to say they can cure most common diseases regardless of the facts. As a practitioner you get a list from A-Z, where you can find them all: asthma, arthritis, bronchitis, cancer, ... and the most you can say is that you can "control the pain" or "temporarily relieve the symptoms" of some of them. Unbelievable, but true. So, if you don't want to get in trouble with the law, you'd better obey it. Oh, by the way, these laws are written by western medical “experts”, and the logic behind th ..read more

Whatever Happened To Master Tian Ruisheng? Master Tian Ruisheng was no doubt one of the most famous living masters of Qigong in modern China. After his public appearance on the Qigong scene in the late eighties, and for the next seven years, his impact was so great that it remains unrivaled by any of his predecessors. Nor were there any that came even close since. Here are some highlights of Master Tian’s accomplishments with Fragrant Qigong: He was undisputed number one master of Qigong and his style, Fragrant Qigong, the most popular style ever. No other style of Qigong was practiced b ..read more

ARE YOUR CLOTHES KILLING YOU? They say that “clothes really maketh the man”, sure they can. But according to Chinese medicine this statement is incomplete. Clothes can either really make a man sick or they can help keep him/her healthy. So many people go through life dying to look a certain way for the sake of fashion, even if it kills them. How many times have I heard women say, “the things we do for fashion”. They wear from “so called” really attractive shoes that are too high, tight and very uncomfortable to really tight bras and corsets for example. The only problem is, they don’t even k ..read more

First level: Open Your Eyes The first level of seeing is when we only use our 2 eyes to see with.  The characteristics of this basic level of sight are that you can only see things that are in front of you, not what is behind you.  You can only see things that are a certain size and you can only see if there is light.  Improper use or overuse of our eyes can lead to shortsightedness.  When we reach a certain age many of us end up with long-sightedness or gradually lose our sight altogether.  Regular practice of Qigong can not only prevent all these possibilities, but ..read more

Qigong – Is It Safe? Well, yes but... Through reading the previous articles, you’ve probably heard many times how safe Qigong is and how safety is one of its most prominent features. But, is it absolutely safe, something you can never go wrong with? Really, how safe is Qigong? If practiced properly and regularly, Qigong indeed is one of the safest healing modalities in the world. But, if not, it can cause all kinds of problems, from minor to severe imbalances and even death. Well, if it is like that, then what makes it different to say western medicine, so often condemned for its intolerabl ..read more

Parallel Worlds It sounds unbelievable but it is true. We live in a world where there are many parallel worlds existing simultaneously, side by side. The worlds of rich and poor. The worlds of good and evil. The worlds of past and future. Among others there is a world where there is no cure for many illnesses and where people, willingly or unwillingly, undergo all kinds of expensive, dangerous and ineffective torturous treatments while, at the same time, there is a world in which those same illnesses are successfully treated daily using simple, safe and cheap (even enjoyable) methods, some o ..read more

Can Chinese Medicine Treat Corona Virus (Part 2) It's all our fault!! In our last blog we discussed Chinese Medicine’s approach to treating any disease and that COVID 19 would not be an exception. But, are you aware that the same principles Chinese Medicine uses to diagnose and treat diseases can be utilised in all other aspects of life to help sort out and correct the problems of any kind? They are known as the universal principles (e.g. yin and yang, 5 elements, bagua etc.) and are a part of Daoism (or Taoism), an ancient Chinese system of solving problems by primarily using non-action (D ..read more

Can Chinese Medicine Treat Corona Virus? (Part 1) To answer this question accurately we need first look at the way Chinese medicine treats any disease. And what better way than to compare it with something that we are all so much more familiar with e.g. our own traditional medicine. There is a saying in China that goes: “Western medicine treats the disease, Chinese medicine treats the person.” What that means is that Western medicine’s main focus is on the end result of, usually, a very complex disturbances of the body’s normal self-protective and self-healing mechanisms. That end result (i ..read more
