Qi gong
: Qi gong has been studied in a small study of elderly patients to see if it helped depression in those with chronic physical illnesses. Study results were inconclusive, and further research is needed. Qi gong may be used as an adjunctive therapy to more proven therapies.Qi gong is generally considered to be safe in most people when learned from a qualified instructor. Use cautiously with psychiatric disorders. In cases of potentially serious conditions, Qi gong should not be used as the only treatment instead of more proven therapies, and should not delay the time it takes to see an appropriate healthcare provider.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
