About Us: What is Dan Tian? | Holistic Sports Medicine

What does "Dan Tian" mean?
“Dan Tian” is a beautiful term from the 5000-year-old Chinese Medical tradition which perfectly embodies the philosophy of our clinic.

In Chinese, “Dan Tian” literally means “Field of Medicine” or "Field of Elixir". It refers to the conscious and loving cultivation of medicine within the body, the way a gardener tend to his/her garden. What a wonderful concept! The body has powerful innate healing abilities. Frequently the best results are achieved by simply removing obstacles to healing and allowing wellness to grow and blossom.

Anatomically, "Dan Tian" is also the name of three major energy centers in the core of the body, similar to the Chakra system in Yoga. These energy centers are thought to be major reservoirs of the body's healing energy, and so they are strongly emphasized in traditional self-care practices like Qigong breathing meditation, Tai Chi, and Martial Arts.
