Although qigong-neither itself nor its postulated mechanism of action - are within the paradigm of modern Western medical science, effects on the human body could be possible.

In the process, this review will grasp trends in this field of studies and will direct further researches into the right direction. The computerized Korean databases were searched from their respective inceptions up to January 2008. The search terms used were ’qi’, ’qigong’, ’doin’, ’training’, ’bioenergy’, ’life nurturing’ and random or Korean language terms related to qigong. Several specialized journals were also manually searched for relevant articles. Since the 1990s, Qigong papers in the Korean Literature is increased.
