How Qi Flows: Acupuncture Versus Qigong
Jul 23, 2026In acupuncture, most often acupuncturists use needles to stimulate qi flow in either the yang or yin meridians, moving out from and in towards the core of the body, respectively.
However, qi is not physical and is constantly moving in both directions at the same time. Qigong, one of the branches of Chinese medicine, complements acupuncture treatment, helping qi to flow naturally throughout the body's energy channels.
I recommend starting with Dragon & Tiger Medical Qigong, which complements acupuncture treatment. Learn this 1500-year-old self-healing practice with step-by-step instructions and guided practices, to feel, grow and develop your qi at https://www.paulcavel.com/medical-qigong.
