The Lineage
About the Medicine-less Hospital
The Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Clinic & Training Centre — the world's first medicine-free hospital, where over 400,000 patients were treated with the life-force energy Qi, without medication or surgery.
Impressive Pioneering Work
The World's First Medicine-Free Hospital
Impressive pioneering work in natural healing was performed at the Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Clinic & Training Centre, the world's first medicine-free hospital, just two hours from Beijing. This natural healing centre was the largest of its kind worldwide and operated between 1988 and 2001.
It specialised in the holistic Zhineng Qigong treatment of the individual patient, using the natural activation of self-healing powers. Patients were treated exclusively with the driving life force, Qi — an effective combination of love, exercise, and life energy. During the 24-day program, fundamentals of Zhineng Qigong Level 1 as well as remedial activation were taught.

Targeted Symptom Relief
Documented Healing Across 180 Illnesses
Through effective Zhineng Qigong therapy, over 400,000 patients with 180 different illnesses were successfully treated — and even today, some of them are completely healed.
A considerable amount of individual case studies have been documented in many different books written by Dr. Pang Ming, as well as summarised in over 3,000 research documents by therapists and doctors working at the centre. Many of those have been translated into English and made available to healing and training centres worldwide.
The centre itself was a unique education centre, a leading example of its own kind. Specialists — doctors, teachers, trainers, and assistants — were trained at the Huaxia Zhineng Centre and mastered an extensive training program before having the opportunity to apply Qigong treatment to students or patients. Between 1992 and 2001, over 760 Zhineng Qigong trainers studied various levels of Qigong, such as Lift Qi Up and Pour Qi Down, Three Centres Merge, and La Qi, and work today successfully as therapists in their field.
Zhineng Qigong as Natural Non-Invasive Therapy
What Made the Centre So Effective
A proven, drug-free treatment method with countless great healing successes — easy to learn and capable of creating fundamental change for your health.
Natural Activation of Self-Healing
Patients were treated exclusively with the driving life force, Qi — an effective combination of love, exercise, and life energy — without medication or surgery.
A 24-Day Structured Program
During the 24-day program, fundamentals of Zhineng Qigong Level 1 as well as remedial activation were taught, giving patients a practice they could continue at home.
Rigorous Teacher Training
Specialists — doctors, teachers, trainers, and assistants — mastered an extensive training program before applying Qigong treatment, ensuring consistent, high-quality care.
A Model for the World
Many hospitals and healing centres, first in China and later worldwide, followed this example and included Zhineng Qigong in their treatment plans.
Zhineng Qigong therapy is easy to learn and offers a chance to create fundamental change for your health. When you practice regularly with excellent trainers, you can sometimes feel the difference within a short time. An initially actively performed series of poses turns into a subconsciously performed, free-flowing sequence of movement and visualization, leading to full harmony within body, mind, and soul. Some health insurance companies have started to acknowledge the effectiveness of Qigong therapy too, and now partially cover the costs for treatments.
The Medicine-less Hospital Today
A Living Legacy, Carried Worldwide
The work of the first medicine-less hospital is continued today by many masters and teachers trained by Dr. Pang Ming in the rigorous teacher training at the Huaxia Center.
For those wanting to become a Hunyuan Qi Therapist themselves, the methods and techniques of the Huaxia Center are taught in the two-year Hun Yuan Qi Therapy Programme, where people from all over the world form a powerful group to learn about and apply the methods of the first medicine-less hospital.
You can begin where every student at the Huaxia Center began — with the foundational La Qi exercise. The free Qigong Starter Kit introduces this practice in a live online session led by certified teachers trained in the same lineage.
