The Health Benefits of T'ai Chi
There is growing evidence that this mind body practice has value in treating or preventing many health problems. Through the power of ancient Chinese techniques, you can help lessen the power of stress on your mind and body. T'ai chi, originally a Chinese martial art, has evolved into a gentle exercise proven to provide many health benefits. And don't worry, it's something that can be done by anyone – it doesn't require any special skills or fitness level and can benefit people of all ages.
T'ai chi is often described as 'meditation in motion,' but it might well be called 'medication in motion.'
