The Qigong exercises in this video can be used preventively as part of a Lung strengthening program or therapeutically if you have a current or recent infection. The first Qigong exercise, Water & Fire Meet, is good for invigorating the flow of energy in the chest to dissolve phlegm and reduce cough. Use it for any cough or bronchial infection with chest tightness or congestion.

The second Qigong exercise, The Great Bird Spreads its Wings, opens the chest and helps your lungs breathe deeply and fully.
