How it works: ✨Regulates the nervous system: Qigong activates the parasympathetic ("rest and digest") response, which lowers stress hormones like cortisol. Chronic stress is a well-known trigger for systemic inflammation. ✨Improves circulation and lymph flow: Gentle, flowing movements help stimulate blood flow and support the lymphatic system, which plays a key role in immune function and clearing out inflammatory waste. ✨Balances immune response: Research shows that regular Qigong practice can modulate immune function, reducing overactive inflammatory responses. ✨Promotes deeper breathing: Breathwork in Qigong supports oxygenation and helps reduce oxidative stress—a factor linked to chronic inflammation. ✨Reduces pain and tension: Qigong helps release muscular and joint tension that may contribute to localized inflammation. Drop a 💜 if qigong is part of your routine to help with inflammation. (fb)
