As we age, our bone marrow naturally changes, leading to a decline in blood cell production, a weaker immune system, and increased fatigue. Bone Marrow Cleansing Qigong (Xi Sui Jing) is believed to cleanse the marrow, improve circulation, and rejuvenate the body from the inside out. But how exactly does it work, and why is it so effective? While scientific evidence is limited, some aspects of this practice may support bone marrow health in the following ways:
Potential Benefits of Bone Marrow Cleansing Qigong:
- Improved Blood Circulation – promotes better circulation, which may enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery to bone marrow.
- Regulation of the Immune System – reduces stress and inflammation, potentially helping to maintain immune function as we age.
- Reduction of Oxidative Stress – lowers oxidative stress, which is linked to aging-related bone marrow decline.
- Enhancement of Stem Cell Activity – Enhances hematopoietic stem cell regeneration, helping to maintain blood cell production.
- Stress Reduction & Hormonal Balance – Chronic stress and high cortisol levels negatively impact bone marrow function. Qigong’s meditative aspects may help balance hormones and reduce stress.
While Bone Marrow Cleansing Qigong cannot entirely prevent the natural ageing of the marrow, it can certainly slow down the process and improve the quality of your overall health, energy, and resilience. I welcome more research in this Qigong.
In my new masterclass I teach the authentic form exactly as I learnt it from the Shaolin Temple. I combine it with strength training so that you can experience the increase in energy from Qigong. This is not lofty theory. This is your direct experience.
My new Bone Marrow Cleansing Masterclass starts on 21st April.
I also offer a streaming class.
