Using gentle and defined organ massage, Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is used to move blocks, tensions, toxins, stresses, and illnesses that manifest through these organs. CNT has beneficial effects on the body’s digestion, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, urinary, reproductive, musculo-skeletal, and energy systems. Chi Nei Tsang practitioners have a working knowledge of the internal organs and their functions: the lymphatic, circulatory, and nervous systems, the energy channels, the muscles and fasciae, and the interrelationships among all these facets in the body. Chi Nei Tsang complements conditions such as:
· Promotion of wellness: immune enhancement, mood balance, depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, anguish, neurosis, paranoia, schizophrenia · Chronic symptoms: pain management, chronic fatigue
· Internal: abdominal pains, loss of appetite. Indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, diabetes, pulmonary conditions
· Genito-urinary and reproductive: impotence, dropped bladders, dysmennorhea, PMS, labor contraction inducing, pain management during delivery, PMD and pre/post-natal symptoms.
