Qigong For A Cold, Cough, Flu - Qigong To Boost Immune System & Tonify The Lungs

In this video I’m sharing what I do when I feel under the weather. I drink lots of hot liquid (warm water, tea ), also a big fan of soups. I use Qigong acupressure point for headaches and boosting immune system. I do breathing exercises to cleanse and detox the lungs combined with Qigong exercises. This 20 minute routine is designed to open the chest and tonify the lungs so we can breathe better. Gentle body movements encourage blood and energy circulation to facilitate the recovery.

[@geraldinemacdermott9738]

Thank you most sincerely for this beautiful session which I am trying for the first time following a nasty throat infection- it has really opened up my lungs which are congested and has made breathing clearer. I often follow your videos and am so pleased you offer them free on KZbin. It means I will continue with Qi qong as long as they are available. There are no classes anywhere near where I live and the courses are not affordable for me so Thanks again .

[@JUPITER11119]

I'm using this every morning for my cold/flu. I feel a huge difference afterward! I'm happier afterward, too. 😄 Thank you so much, from the US. 🙏

[@Jameskeith1972]

I’ve been using it for years with whole body patting and the acupressure for many years now and I hardly get sick. The weather just changed 2 days ago and wham it got me. This is because the longer you do chi gong the more sensitive we become to changes in nature and the foods we eat. I can’t drink alcohol much either. I’ve been trying to share with everyone I know to spread the love. Cheers!

[@JUPITER11119]

@jimipageiommi748 I know what you mean... I can't eat any bad food combination anymore without getting serious brain fog and indigestion. At least my body knows what's right and wrong now. It's well-calibrated. :)

[@melinajancovic2018]

It's so true - the body would never hurt us! We need to take care of our bodies.

[@jyoung11650]

Every time I feel like I'm coming down with a cold, I re-watch this video. It's amazing. Thank you.

[@martabujakowska8486]

Thank you Kseny, after three days of suffering from rota virus i decided to do some exercise. i used to practise qigong with great pleasure but now I really needed some even gentler practice. I found it here. I am feeling lighter and better now although I still need to rest.

[@clarebotsford1763]

Having discovered Qigong last year, I looked to see what I could do specifically to ward off the cold I am starting. Just loved your video, calming voice and great set of gentle exercises as well as advice. How wonderful that we can share such positivity between countries. I wish you well Kseny and thank you for sharing your gentle energy.

[@qigongwithkseny]

Hi Clare, thank you for taking the time to share. I'm happy to hear that you like the practice and find the exercises helpful. Sending you good energy and keep well!

[@ashleyanderson3824]

❤❤❤ thank you

[@claritatzinatbakhsh7723]

I have been fighting a very nasty cold virus that it's going around here in the US. All my family members got it and I was the last one to get and somehow it stay with me for 3 weeks. I even have treatment with my Easster doctor and taking herbs. With your qigong exercises helping me a lot. I believe I am now the road to recovery. I will keep it until this virus leaves my body. Thank you Kseny 🥰🙏🏼

[@elisabethakerman9332]

Thank you so much for this gentle, yet powerful practise! I am down with Covid and have been practising Qi Gong and energymedicin for several years now. Being sick it's hard to "remember" what to do or being able to follow a specific routine but this one is so gentle and combines the perfect set of movements and acupressurepoints for me. I'm not always able to do it in one go and sometimes do it seated as well. It really helpes me and my conjestion in the head and opens up my lungs. Feels so good to be able to do something for healing the body. I also drink a lot of ginger teas with thyme, or lemon, eat veggiesoups with garlig and thyme. I also have a TCM doctor that provides me supporting medicin. So feel well supported and taken care of

[@tonberrykinged]

Yeah I used this when I had Covid too. Felt like it helped. In between lying down and napping, I would do this. It's important to maintain blood flow.

[@susiemendelsson8119]

Hi Kseny! Just revisited this session as I have a crippling cough..lots of pearls of wisdom here and such calm. Lots of gratitude 🙏

[@lienlienlienlienlien]

definitely feeling more vital after this class! Thank you for your inspiring teachings in this class!

[@qigongwithkseny]

that's great! Happy it was helpful! 👍

[@MindLightRelaxingMusic]

I've been doing this now twice/day for a few days and this routine is so relieving, Thank you! 🙏

[@HesterRiches]

I felt achy and congested when I woke up this morning, under the weather, and this video set me back to feeling normal. Thank you for sharing your practice, you have a wise way of working through stretches. Feel better soon.

[@lindahicks7402]

Thank you for this video, Kseny. I seemed to be stuck in getting through this cold, but worked with a video of yours yesterday and this one today. I am on the other side of the cold and give credit to Qi Gong….I feel better all over, without the usual remnants.

[@qigongwithkseny]

Hi Linda, that's good to hear! Lots of rest, warm food and foot rubs are my go to remedy! Feel better soon!

[@danielread5854]

I've got Covid and this has brought some relief from the constant "AAAAARRGGHHHH!!!!" feeling that's been lingering for the past few days. Much obliged!

[@lonnekeke]

Jup I'm under the weather and this felt lovely. Gonna do it every day the upcoming days :) Thank you Kseny!

[@yogawithnaromi]

Feel like I can breathe better and less congested 🙌

[@NidhiChaitow]

Beautiful body wisdom - really shifting and connecting with the body - thank you xxx

[@eugenpas1]

Thank you Kseny. One thing that works for me when I am congested is to fill up a cup with a teaspoon of honey, half a squeezed lemon and a half a cup of water, put it in the microwave for 45-60 sec, and drink it warm. Do this twice a day - I do it mid-morning and mid-afternoon usually. It will help, trust me :)

[@qigongwithkseny]

Hi Eugenio, thanks for sharing. Warm drinks are very comforting when we feel under the weather.

[@clairejohnson7809]

Doing this after ive been in bed with high temps and chills for a day, negative covid test though. Off to make a turmeric tea now. Thank you ❤

[@damngoten4595]

That’s how I am any tips

[@jyoung11650]

I come back to this because it is so helpful.

[@alexandriastarlight]

I had an intense conversation with an ex and the next morning I felt sore, had a headache, and a fever.. I took most of the day off and the next day stayed in bed, I am recovering from a draining conversation and this was a beautiful restorative meditation 🧘‍♂️ thank you

[@sarahsapphire511]

I've had a nasty cold the last couple of days and this felt amazing. Definitely made me feel better, thank you for the great video

[@bridgetgilbert2164]

I hope you feel better soon Kseny

[@Jameskeith1972]

Twist and turn! I like that. I’ve always called it turning waist swinging arms. Which I don’t like. Too poetic, long, and there’s other ones that have the same name. It’s one of my favorites!

[@Zack1440]

Get better soon Kseny. Just prayed for you to recover soon. Nice routine too, I'll share it with my dad, he isn't feeling well either.

[@margaretek5350]

Thank you Kseny ! Perfect woke up feeling like maybe a cold starting! Of course during this pandemic your mind goes to the worst ! So will drink ginger tea! Feel rejuvenated! 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗

[@qigongwithkseny]

Hi Margarete, I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, lots of ginger tea and good rest for you!:) Keep well!

[@yvonnemariane2265]

Nice! So good to take care of ourselves and others when "we're under the weather"...

[@claudiarydel9157]

Thank you I needed to get energy moving after being sick, I feel a difference just from doing this now, will continue. 🙏

[@lindajacobson1993]

So glad I found this wonderful qi gong session. I feel better after doing it. Thank you!

[@shereeglasson22]

Thank you. You are the third qi gong teacher I have consulted online, plus one in person, and from each I have learnt something new. Although you all have the same underlying principles. You asked for any things that are helping in other parts of the world. I guess you are in Russia or somewhere else in Eastern Europe but I do not really know! In any case, I am not sure if this is easily available in Europe, but in Australia, we grow and can fairly easily obtain freshly dried red hibiscus petals to drink as tea. It is brilliant for flu prevention and recovery. Very high in vitamin C and also much more hydrating than plain water. I also do the root soups and ginger and Manuka honey tea, as you mentioned. I do also like turmeric. The hibiscus tea though is definitely worth seeking out and trying. It is really delicious and naturally sweet, needs nothing added :D

[@dunzodonalds]

Thank you Kseny!

[@teditafel8430]

wonderful and so well taught! thank you! I will share this with my friends as a way to help support us through this time.

Loved this practice! Prevention is the best cure

[@michieldewit2420]

I wanted to thank you, I started going through some of your videos some days ago and I have been practising Qi Gong on a daily basis. You have a really kind energy about you, thank you for helping so many people including me! Something else I do when I don't feel well: meditate focusing on healing cells + lie down on my acupressure mat.

[@narellederuyter2443]

I really enjoyed this video Kseny, thank you so much for sharing ❤ many of the qi gong routines out there are to prevent from getting sick, which is the ideal scenario of course, but not always feasible in our busy lives. I very much appreciated your guided approach on how you can move your body in order to actually recover, in a warm gentle and very compassionate way.

[@jokeheeren2532]

Very nice and gentle exercise. Loved the soft music as well. Thanks Kseny!
