Bigu was originally a Taoist practice method. Because it can improve people’s physical fitness and has a good therapeutic effect on diseases, this method was spread by Taoist practitioners and gradually spread to the public, becoming a method of health and maintenance for health practitioners.
When people do not eat grains, they use some specific methods of training, through fasting, fasting, taking medicine and other things or taking air, to achieve the effects of cleaning the body, developing potential, maintaining health and curing diseases, improving intelligence and wisdom, fitness and beauty, weight loss and bodybuilding, detoxification and beauty, delaying aging, health and longevity, absorbing cosmic spiritual energy, and harmony between man and nature! This is a health method from ancient times to the present, Bigu!
From a general perspective, many phenomena in Bigu are difficult to understand. For example: how can the human body not eat for so long; some sick people get better through Bigu without taking medicine; how can the body be better than before without eating; although we are puzzled, these phenomena really happened, and they greatly challenged our habitual thinking. To explain the principle of Bigu clearly, we must understand the method and principle of Bigu!
Principle and efficacy
Principle of Bigu
In traditional health theory, food is called Gu Qi. The combination of food and the body’s vital energy (also known as kidney-internal dynamic energy) forms true Qi. The flow of true Qi supports the normal operation of life activities. What really supports life is the vital energy in the true Qi, and food plays a stimulating role. Food leaves its “physical properties” in the body. This physical property affects the normal flow of true Qi in the body and also brings people all kinds of desires. Physical properties affect the flow of Qi and blood, which can easily bring people diseases. Although there is a gap between Chinese medicine theory and modern medical theory, there is no conflict. The method and theory of Bigu directly contradicts the modern medical theory, but reality explains everything. Some patients can drink only water for more than ten days without eating any food. Not only do they not feel hungry, but their condition has improved. Don’t deny this method and facts just because modern medicine can’t explain it. Modern medicine is still developing.
This therapy can greatly reduce the diet and reduce the impact of “materiality” on the body, so it has a cleansing function. In addition, the Bigu therapy can also stimulate the generation of dynamic qi between the kidneys of people, which was called Tianyi water (vital energy) in ancient times. Therefore, it has the function of regulation and immune enhancement.
The three major effects of Bigu
First, it can make the gastrointestinal digestive system get a comprehensive cleansing, rest and repair function.
At the beginning of Bigu, the stomach first enters a resting state, and the damaged gastric mucosa and stomach wall get a rare opportunity to rest, recuperate and repair. Five to seven days, mild gastritis, superficial ulcers, stomach cold, heartburn, and stomach pain can be cured or alleviated. Multiple Bigu can greatly improve the stomach qi to achieve the effect of “there is stomach qi and life”.
Bigu does not eat, and the original retained food is further absorbed by the small intestine and the dregs and turbidity are transferred to the large intestine. The small intestine enters a state of recuperation, cleaning and repair. The villi of the small intestine are cleaned up, the absorption function is restored to a young state, the small intestine wall is cleaned and repaired, and various bloating and pain disappear. The large intestine conducts food residue downwards, and the large intestine empties and cleans up section by section from top to bottom, entering a state of rest, recuperation, and repair until all the stool is discharged from the body. The large intestine can be fully cleaned and repaired, and enters a state of recuperation. Various intestinal diseases get a chance to be treated. Symptoms such as flatulence, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loose stools or constipation, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc., some are cured in the first fasting, and some serious cases can be cured after multiple fasting.
The human stomach and intestines are the most vulnerable to damage, and they are also difficult to treat because they are always filled with food. The intestines are long, with a total length of about six times that of the human body, winding and turning. It is difficult to clean it thoroughly with modern medical means, but the gastrointestinal tract can be cleaned thoroughly without any damage by fasting for seven days. What is more brilliant is that the gastrointestinal tract is repaired and repaired at the same time, and the ecological balance of the gastrointestinal environment will not be destroyed, so it has a rapid healing effect.
Second, it is the function of comprehensive cleaning and repairing the vascular system
According to relevant records, the total length of human blood vessels can circle the earth 2.7 times, which is an amazing description of its length. It is also said that when a person reaches the age of 50, only 50% of the cross-section of the blood vessels can pass blood, and the rest is occupied by blood stains. It is difficult to clean such long and aging blood vessels and repair their corroded walls. When the human body enters the state of fasting, the amount of blood passing through the blood vessels is 30% more than that in the state of eating, filling the blood vessels, flushing the blood vessel walls, and nourishing the blood vessel walls. This large amount of blood flow takes away the garbage and discharges it from the body, purifying the blood vessels. Fasting for many times or fasting for a lifetime can achieve the health purpose of “young blood vessels, longevity”.
Third, it is the function of comprehensive cleaning, repairing the intracellular environment, nourishing and activating cells
Cells are the smallest units of the human body. The small holes on the cell walls are only 7 nanometers in diameter. Generally, macromolecules cannot enter the cells. Therefore, it is difficult to clean the internal environment of the cells with existing medical means, let alone repair them. This task can be easily accomplished within seven days using the special method of Bigu. This method is to return the saved 30% of blood to the cells, flush, clean and nourish the cells, gradually activate the cells, and rejuvenate the body.
Using modern science to explain the principles and effects of Bigu
One
Through modern medical research, the main cause of human aging and disease is the accumulation and fermentation of feces in the large intestine, which produces harmful substances and causes chronic poisoning of the human body. Therefore, from the perspective of human health, the waste in the human body includes feces, urine, sweat, carbon dioxide, etc., and feces are the most harmful.
The large intestine is specially used to collect feces. If it is not completely removed, it will produce a variety of toxins and become a processing plant for various chronic diseases, which is the source of all diseases. Therefore, if you want to cure the disease, you must first clean the stomach and intestines to keep the internal environment and space of the body clean, thereby promoting the functions of various organs and improving immunity.
Such as heart disease, blood disease, fatty liver, hepatitis B, diabetes, gynecological disease, rheumatism, hypertension, obesity syndrome, gastrointestinal disease, rhinitis, asthma, silicosis, edema, bad breath, etc., which are called incurable diseases that are not cancer by the medical community, can achieve unexpected results through fasting.
With the increase of the fasting schedule, the number of white blood cells in the body exceeds the normal one or several times to devour pathogens, cure difficult and complicated diseases and even terminal illnesses. Fasting can systematically improve and regulate the functions of the digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system, nervous system, reproductive system, and urinary system, and has no toxic side effects-this is beyond the reach of any drug.

Fasting is also a good way to beautify. It fundamentally solves the problem of energy absorption. It not only makes fat people lose weight, but also makes thin people fat. The skin is shiny and clean, playing a two-way regulatory role.
Three
From the perspective of Qigong health preservation and cultivation, regular and irregular fasting can put cells in a state of “lack of food and loss of Qi”, so that the internal and external Qi of the human body can communicate, produce the effect of unity of man and nature, accelerate the exchange of cells with external substances and energy, and seize the cosmic Qi (spiritual energy) of nature. At the same time, it makes people more relaxed and quiet, the brain potential can be developed, and wisdom can be enlightened. It is a shortcut to improve the level of cultivation. At the same time, it can also lower body temperature, slow down the number of pulse beats, delay aging, and live a healthy and long life.
Fasting can improve brain function and intelligence, and develop human potential: because the excess fat and toxins in the body are removed, the body is fully cleaned, the intestines and stomach are regulated and recuperated, and the mind is clarified and sublimated. Temperament can be cultivated, vision is broadened, life is understood, and the truth is understood. It makes people have a new outlook on life and the world, and have a new understanding of the universe and nature.
Fasting also has a deeper meaning. It is not pure starvation, but has the special effects brought by practicing Qigong. In this state, the brain is always in a new functional state, the physical energy and potential are fully adjusted and exerted, the physical load is reduced, the soul is fully utilized and exerted, and the function of brain cells is fully mobilized. Therefore, the communication between man and the natural universe is active, and various information from the outside world is continuously input into the brain, which is “the unity of man and nature”. Therefore, it is manifested in flexible limbs, bright eyes, clear mind, quick thinking, enhanced memory, enhanced understanding, willpower and endurance are also greatly enhanced, which is very easy to inspire and induce various potentials of the human body. At the same time, it also generates thinking and understanding of the true meaning of the universe, so that various special thinking can be generated, and many problems and confusions that cannot be solved under normal circumstances can be solved, which will eventually lead to a leap in spiritual power and wisdom, and inspiration will also arise. The purpose of Bigu is to cleanse the internal part of the acquired body, remove the accumulation of toxins caused by eating too much, eating irrationally (such as partiality, eating too much fat and sweet food, etc.), exercising too little or taking medicine, and make the acquired qi from turbid to clear, so that the turbid qi of grains can be gradually eliminated and the natural clear qi can be taken in, so that the internal part of the person is highly clean and the skin color of the external body is smooth and beautiful. At the same time, it can improve the ability to digest and absorb nutrients, enhance the vitality of human life, induce the body’s own potential functions and innate special qualities, and complete the transformation of human body and mind. In the state of Bigu, people can often go without food for days, months or even years, but they are full of energy and their movements are lighter and better than ordinary people. No wonder Bigu has become a wonderful method of cultivation that practitioners have always admired. But as for its mechanism, it lies in the guidance of Qi. Because Bigu should be combined with Qigong. As the name suggests, the “Fu” of inhaling means eating. Breathing is also known as eating air, moving air, guiding, breathing, etc. It is the use of the human spirit and consciousness, and the use of the elements and energy of the human body’s vitality. It is by no means a simple process of taking in air, but a physiological issue involving the complex life mechanism of the human body. It is also a major issue involving the exchange and communication of energy and information between the human body’s microcosm and the natural macrocosm, and the completion of life reconstruction. It replenishes the elements and other subtle substances of the human body itself by regulating the internal qi of the body and mind and absorbing the fresh air of the natural universe. It is of great significance
