Chinese medicine has several areas of focus. One of the areas of focus is exercise. Exercise is essential to prevent disease and also to help facilitate healing. One of the exerises that we teach and practice at Master Lu’s Health Center in Salt Lake City is called eight sections of brocade or ba duan jin.
Ba Duan Jin is a qi gong set known to have been originally developed by Yue Fei who was a Chinese general during the Southern Song Dynasty. Ba Duan Jin is a group of eight exercises that will help you develop flexibility, strength, and health. The daily practice of Ba Duan Jin will help you from getting sick and prevent illness.
Recently there has been research about ba duan jin (eight section of brocade). There was a recent research article that showed improved health among those with COPD or chronic obstruction pulmonary disorder. The study was a small study, and there needs to be more or larger studies. However, it is a start and it did have good results.
It study concluded that patients with COPD can benefit from the practice of Ba Duan Jin along with conventional treatment. It is recommended that COPD patients learn and practice Ba Duan Jin to help with the disease. Ba Duan Jin will improve pulmonary capacity and help with the lung function.
