Health Benefits
Tai chi's health benefits have traditionally been seen in the context of Chinese medicine, with the nurturing of chi and improving energy flow through the body's meridians or internal energy channels (as in acupuncture, yoga etc).
Of course, this view of the body's energetic and healing system is not found in western medicine and so there is a new and growing body of studies being undertaken in the West to test exactly what benefits the practice of tai chi can be shown to bring.
