Experience with Qigong and Taijiquan in medical practice.
By Dr. med. Liselotte Petersohn

Liselotte Petersohn and her husband have been making use of the effects of Qigong in their shared practice for more than twenty years. For themselves it offers the possibility to »refuel« energetically, to recover from energy draining treatment more quickly. Acupuncture applications become more effective with a higher energy level of the person applying it. Qigong makes the patient more sensitive to the effects of other kinds of treatment and, above all, it supplies them with a method with which to contribute to their own cure and maintenance of health. The teaching of Qigong, especially to sick people, certainly requires appropriate training and experience including basic medical knowledge in first aid.
