Chow Qigong
Sadly, Dr. Chow passed away in November, 2022 at the age of 89.
Qigong Grandmaster Dr. Chow developed the Chow Integrated Healing System and Chow Medical Qigong. The Chow Integrated System focuses on enhancing or maximizing one’s own health potential and subsequently assisting others in health promotion. New and ancient concepts regarding life stages from birth to death are explored as well as new meanings of illness, health, and wellness, and other interpretations of physiological responses.
Dr. Chow combines the best of both Eastern and Western medicine. In Western medicine, the focus is on the specific part of the body that is ailing. In Eastern medicine, the focus is on the whole human being: body, mind and spirit. Effie Chow, PhD, RN, certified acupuncturist and president of the East West Academy of Healing Arts of San Francisco, has found that the two systems complement each other.
