ABSTRACT               

Twenty one patients who had been suffering from asthma for at least five years participated in this study. Fourteen were male and seven were female. They were interviewed in detail about their eating habits, living and working environments, family background, emotional issues, and physical complaints. They were then advised to avoid factors that trigger asthma.

The subjects were divided into three categories according to diagnostic methods used in qigong:

(1) shen yang xu group

(2) shen yin xu group

(3) shen yin and shen yang xu group

According to different body types, different qigong programs were prescribed and appropriate wai qi were applied.

After three weeks of qigong training and wai qi therapy, all of the patients experienced a significant decrease in symptoms of asthma.
