Qigong to Boost Immunity and Lower Stress - Zhan Zhuang - Natural Medicine for Immune Health

Build immunity and clear stress with this simple beginner's Qigong routine. Whether facing a pandemic, or just a regular cold and flu season, one of the best ways we can keep our immune systems strong is to lower our stress and build up our energy, and that is what makes Qigong such good preventative medicine. Many Qigong practitioners find that regular practice means that when they do catch an illness it tends to be less severe and not last as long.

For the curious and/or skeptical (skepticism is welcome here), there are several studies showing that Qigong practice may help the body to produce more immune cells, and may even make those cells more potent, among a number of other health benefits:

Have been practicing for three weeks now. What a difference it has made in my energy, outlook and breathing. Have had both knees replaced over a year ago.Since then I have struggled with nerve damage in my left leg. Now it seems to be gradually improving where PT has left me until now. Thank you. I will continue.

I cannot believe how much better I feel after doing this once. My eyes were cloudy with morning allergies and they are completely clear now and I feel fantastic. I appreciate these videos so much, qi gong is changing my life 🙏

This was perfect for a rainy, grey day. I didn't feel much energy - just lethargy mixed with stress. After about 5 minutes, my energy lifted and stress started to float away. Thanks so much!

As is sometime the case a spiritual result emerges from a persistent practice of qi gong. Zhan zhuang done daily with these warmup stimuli has quieted spirit dramatically. Emerging from the ZZ postures is capped by the centering closure. Standing like a tree ( i was a forest scientist) for up to 20 min is a wake up exercise!

This is a great routine. I have just found this channel and I love the way everything is explained thoroughly and the interesting facts thrown into routines. New sub here!

Nick, I am just loving your content. I am fairly new qigong, but I just love the way that you explain while teaching. Not to mention, I am feeling amazing after many years of being very unhealthy. Thank you! ❤

I've tried tons of qi gong routines, and this is by far one of my favourite sweet quickies for a daily energy pickmeup :) . Love the way you explain and the pace of the exercises. Flowy and clear, energetic yet peaceful. Thanks and please keep posting moooore <3

Really brilliant Qigong session. Thank you! I felt amazing during and after. I will definately share with others!

Hello Nick, I turn on my tv just to do my daily qigong exercises and I stumbled on your channel and did this qigong exercise with you and I love the calming sound of your voice.

Four years ago I was really really sick and I found qigong exercises and since then I have been doing qigong exercises. It helps me to heal my body's ailments. You're my addiction to my other wonderful Qigong teacher. The thing with your qigong is that the background you choose is also healing the sound of nature. It's amazing! Thank you ❤️😊🙏🏼

Thank you so much for sharing all pf this with us poor people who can't afford expensive classes 💙

[afoona]

Thanks so much Nick (and team?) - a great way to start another sick morning. I wish it was nicer outside so I could do this among the trees, spring is coming so it should be a reality soon :)

[amandaromain]

I meant to say I’ve been poorly with covid & missed a couple of days, this today was just perfect 👍 Thank you

[bichu]

I do feel a buzz after slapping myself around lol - but also feel nice and warm when finished and much energy - a newbie to this so thank you.

[qeqlkyd]

Thank you for the helpful session. Information and resulting sense of improved well being. 😊

[CarmenElRose]

I just subscribed recently but it seemed like your channel was abandoned. Great to see you back!
I will make it my morning exercise today, thank you!
Hope to see more of the gigong for chronic fatigue series in future.
Have a great day!

This is my second video of Nick's and I love this one as well!!! It feels so beneficial to the overall body and for Immunity. Thank you so much. 🤗

[DonnaFrasca]

I remember when I took my classes we were taught this as well. These movements are also known as the “spiritual flu shot.” Building up that natural immunity!

This popped up on my feed today, and I saw it was posted on my birthday a year ago so thought I would do it today! Fantastic gentle and grounding routine. Thank you. Love your work!
