What Is
Acupuncture 針 침
Acupuncture is a form of medicine that involves manipulating the body's energy to restore balance and promote healing. In acupuncture, the body is viewed as a series of reservoirs and channels filled with energy (or qi), and imbalances in this energy can lead to illness. Acupuncture aims to restore balance by identifying and addressing the underlying cause of the imbalance, whether it be excess or deficiency. Treatment techniques and methods vary depending on the cause and stage of the illness, and may involve moving or draining excess energy, or tonifying and adding energy to deficient areas. By restoring balance to the body's energy, acupuncture aims to promote overall health and well-being.
Moxibustion 灸 쑥뜸
The terms "direct" and "indirect" moxibustion refer to how the moxa (dried mugwort herb) is applied during treatment. In direct moxibustion, the moxa is placed directly on the skin, sometimes using an herb slice as a buffer. This method is to add new energy to the body and has a strong therapeutic effect.
In indirect moxibustion, the moxa is not placed directly on the skin. Instead, the heat from the burning moxa is directed towards the skin, providing warmth and heat to the area being treated. Indirect moxibustion is often used to supplement other therapies, such as acupuncture or massage, and can be used to apply larger amounts of heat to the body. The primary purpose of indirect moxibustion is to provide heat to "melt" frozen or stagnant energy, harmonizing the energies in an area and providing yang (energizing) support. This technique is often used to treat areas where the energy is frozen, but not necessarily deficient or blocked.

KoBang (Old Way) Qigong:
In traditional Chinese medicine, maintaining balance and harmony in the flow of qi (life energy) is essential for good health and well-being. One way to achieve this balance is through the practice of qigong, which involves exercising the flow of qi through the body's energy channels (meridians). Qigong combines the benefits of resistance and stretching exercises, and places emphasis on the importance of the "push and pull" concept in improving overall muscle balance. With a history dating back over 5,000 years, qigong has been used to improve posture, balance, coordination, endurance, flexibility, and overall health and quality of life.
How can Qigong be beneficial to my health?
Simple daily activities can often lead to stress and muscle tension, which can have negative effects on overall health. Qigong can help relieve muscle tension and restore balance in the body by facilitating the flow of energy. This flow of energy not only relieves tension, but also strengthens the bones, improves joint health, and increases blood circulation. Qigong involves challenging the body through a variety of positions and breath work, which engages a wide range of muscle groups and stimulates the bone marrow to increase cell count and support the immune system. By improving energy and blood flow, qigong can also slow down and even reverse the effects of aging.
