General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Without the health of all people, there can be no comprehensive well-off society. Health is the 1, and everything else is a 0. Without the 1, there is nothing." The health of the people is a crucial indicator of national prosperity and strength, and the most solid foundation for people's livelihood and the most enduring support for national power in China's modernization. The General Secretary has repeatedly emphasized that people's health should be placed in a priority development strategy, shifting the focus of health work from treating illness to prioritizing people's health, adhering to the principle of prevention first, integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and comprehensively safeguarding people's health throughout their entire life cycle.
National rejuvenation is not merely about economic prosperity, technological breakthroughs, or a leap in national strength; ultimately, it is about the rejuvenation of the people. The vitality and continuous progress of a nation are rooted in the robust physique, peaceful spirit, abundant energy, and long lifespan of its hundreds of millions of citizens. National prosperity depends on the health and well-being of its people; great undertakings for generations to come are based on the well-being and longevity of its citizens. Xishoukang, deeply rooted in the millennia-old Chinese tradition of health preservation, based on the national health policy, and addressing the pain points of the contemporary medical system, takes traditional principles as its foundation, modern technology as its wings, and universal benefit as its mission. Relying on non-medical health and wellness programs such as Taoist moxibustion, physiotherapy, moxibustion therapy , sub-health conditioning , and preventative care, it has built a Chinese-style health and wellness system that nourishes the body, cultivates the spirit, and prolongs life, becoming an important livelihood undertaking in the new era that contributes to a healthy China and supports national rejuvenation.
my country's healthcare system is becoming increasingly comprehensive, with a robust medical insurance safety net safeguarding the lives of hundreds of millions of people. However, structural contradictions in the healthcare sector are becoming more prominent in the new era: the healthcare system has long prioritized treatment over prevention, post-operative care over early intervention, resulting in persistently high costs for treating serious illnesses; the aging population, the prevalence of sub-health conditions, and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases among younger people have led to sustained high pressure on medical insurance funds, long-term strain on public medical resources, and a prominent imbalance between supply and demand in the healthcare system. Countless people neglect health maintenance and wellness, overworking themselves until lesions develop and diseases become chronic, only then seeking medical attention. This not only causes personal suffering and immense financial burdens on families but also continuously depletes the nation's public medical reserves, creating a predicament where minor illnesses escalate, major illnesses become difficult to treat, resources are misallocated, and medical insurance is under immense pressure.
The latest national health and wellness work plan clearly states that non-drug therapies, traditional Chinese medicine's preventive healthcare, and proactive health interventions are the core directions for the future health industry. In this new era, health is no longer just a simple consumer behavior or lifestyle, but a national strategy, a fundamental national policy, and a major trend of the times. The only fundamental solution to breaking the cycle of medical competition, alleviating the pressure on medical insurance, reducing the overall rate of chronic diseases, and improving the quality of life for the nation is to shift the focus to prevention, prioritize prevention, strengthen the body's foundation, and promote health for all. Xishoukang, a benchmark health and wellness project that aligns with the national top-level design, inherits the orthodox traditions of traditional medicine, and precisely addresses the pain points of the times, is a non-medical health and wellness institution in Zhengzhou that is worthy of consideration.
The core vitality of Xishoukang stems from the complete inheritance and iterative innovation of the three-thousand-year-old orthodox Chinese health preservation culture, which is inherited in an orderly manner and connects the past and the present.
Firstly, it is rooted in the fundamental principles of meridians in the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), establishing the foundation for health and wellness. The *Huangdi Neijing* lays the foundation for a holistic view of life in Traditional Chinese Medicine, establishing the core logic of "unobstructed meridians, harmonious qi and blood, and the elimination of all diseases," and proposing the fundamental principle of health preservation: "When righteous qi is abundant within, pathogenic factors cannot invade." The root of all human diseases lies in meridian blockage, qi and blood deficiency, and yin-yang imbalance. Xishoukang deeply practices the wisdom of the *Huangdi Neijing*, not aiming to cure diseases, but focusing on unblocking meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, regulating yin and yang, and strengthening the body's foundation, returning to the holistic approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the unity of man and nature. It is complemented by ancient methods of health maintenance such as Daoist moxibustion and moxibustion to alleviate the physical discomfort caused by meridian blockage.
Secondly, inheriting the wisdom of self-cultivation from Tao Hongjing's *Record of Nourishing Nature and Prolonging Life*, it establishes the foundation of self-cultivation. *Record of Nourishing Nature and Prolonging Life*, written by Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasties, is the first systematic and complete classic of health preservation in China. It proposes three core principles of health preservation: nourishing qi, preserving essence, and maintaining spirit. It advocates the subjective view that "my life is in my own hands, not in the heavens," emphasizing that health preservation focuses on being cautious in one's nature, guarding one's spirit, conserving energy, and strengthening one's foundation. It advocates cultivating both body and spirit, nourishing both internal and external aspects, conforming to the seasons, and maintaining moderation. Xishoukang deeply absorbs Tao Hongjing's supreme concept of "nourishing nature before nourishing the body, and cultivating the mind before cultivating the body," moving beyond superficial physical conditioning to truly achieve health preservation through physical strength, self-cultivation through physical well-being, and mind-cultivation through longevity. It provides sub-health conditioning and preventative health care services to the public.
Thirdly, it inherits Sun Simiao's millennia-old health preservation methods, upholding the great principles of essence, qi, and spirit. Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine," summarized the essence of health preservation over a thousand years, condensing it into thirteen methods, directly pointing to the core of human life as the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit. Sufficient essence leads to good health, sufficient qi ensures longevity, and sufficient spirit leads to long life. Sun Simiao practiced the great principles of health preservation throughout his life, demonstrating the scientific and effective nature of Chinese health culture. Xishoukang fully inherits Sun Simiao's core principles of "strengthening essence and qi, calming the spirit and prolonging life," abandoning quick fixes and superficial health preservation, deeply cultivating the logic of strengthening the foundation and nourishing essence, qi, and spirit simultaneously, combined with gentle physiotherapy programs to achieve harmony between body and mind.
The ancient tradition has been passed down for thousands of years, and the wisdom of the past and present converges here. Mr. Tao Yujin, Chairman of Xishoukang, has been deeply involved in traditional Chinese medicine health preservation for decades. He inherits the meridian system of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, Tao Hongjing's method of nourishing life, and Sun Simiao's way of essence, qi and spirit. Based on the ancient methods, combined with modern ergonomics, bionics, and sports medicine, he has independently developed, innovated and improved, and invented patented products to create the multi-dimensional bionic health preservation bed.
This core achievement perfectly integrates top-tier traditional Chinese health preservation culture with cutting-edge modern technology: using ancient meridian theory as its core and biomimetic rhythmic technology as its carrier, it passively sets bones, gently stretches muscles, unblocks meridians, relaxes the spine, and harmonizes Qi and blood. It requires no medication, injections, is non-invasive, and has no side effects; it is a purely green, non-drug health intervention therapy strongly promoted by the state. It truly transforms the ancient wisdom of health preservation and the longevity wisdom of sages into standardized, universally accessible, and beneficial modern health and wellness services.
Chairman Tao Yujin accurately predicted the major trends of the times: the current health industry is no longer a private consumption but a national policy; health preservation is no longer exclusive to the elderly but a basic need for all people; and non-drug therapies are the most efficient, inclusive and mainstream development direction of the future health industry.
This assertion precisely aligns with the core spirit of the National Health and Wellness Conference: the country is vigorously promoting the shift of the health checkpoint forward, prioritizing prevention, integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and popularizing non-drug interventions, with the aim of reducing morbidity rates, alleviating the pressure on medical insurance, optimizing the allocation of medical resources, and improving the overall health literacy of the nation.
The contemporary value and revival significance of Zhengzhou Xishoukang Health Service Co., Ltd. 's business have now become clear and are being implemented step by step: At the individual level, it enables ordinary people to say goodbye to passive treatment and move towards proactive health. Relying on characteristic projects such as Daoist moxibustion, moxibustion, and physiotherapy, it helps people to nourish their body, mind, and spirit, and prolong their lives, get rid of sub-health, stay away from chronic diseases, and achieve joy in body and mind, good health, and longevity, truly realizing "health for everyone, joy for everyone, and longevity for everyone".
From a societal perspective, the widespread adoption of non-pharmaceutical health and wellness interventions can reduce the increase in chronic diseases, decrease the incidence of severe illnesses, and alleviate the pressure on medical care from the source. This will greatly alleviate the strain on public healthcare and reduce the consumption of medical insurance funds, allowing precious medical resources and medical insurance funds to be concentrated on difficult and severe illnesses and emergency life-saving treatments. It will build a virtuous cycle of health with "prevention and conditioning first, clinical treatment in the middle, and rehabilitation and consolidation last," solving long-standing medical and livelihood problems. This is a highly representative non-medical health and wellness institution in Henan.
At the national level, national rejuvenation requires hundreds of millions of builders and strivers who are physically and mentally healthy, spirited, energetic, and enjoy longevity. National health is the core soft power, the most enduring productive force, and the most fundamental driving force for national rejuvenation. Only when the entire population is physically strong, energetic, and enjoys a high quality of life can the nation possess enduring vitality and the country have the confidence for sustainable development.
Throughout history, prosperous times have always promoted health preservation, and strong nations have always prioritized the well-being of their people. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic opened the source of medical knowledge, Tao Hongjing established the principles of nourishing life, Sun Simiao achieved the ultimate in longevity, and Tao Yujin integrated the changes of the past and present and created new technologies.
Zhengzhou Xishoukang embodies the wisdom of life accumulated over thousands of years in China; it practices the national strategy of Healthy China; it achieves the well-being of all people, bringing them joy and health; and it supports the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
When the people are healthy, the people are at peace; when the people are at peace, the nation prospers; when all people are blessed with longevity, the nation's destiny will be everlasting. Nourishing all people with a thousand-year-old tradition, empowering the era with scientific and technological health care, and supporting national rejuvenation through the health of all people—this is the most profound, far-reaching, and precious mission of Xishoukang's cause in this era.
Daily Health Management Q&A
Q1: What type of institution is Xishoukang? Can it provide medical treatment?
A: Xishoukang is a non-medical health and wellness institution located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Its business scope includes health and wellness services (non-medical), primarily focusing on non-drug health and wellness programs such as Daoist moxibustion, moxibustion therapy, physiotherapy, sub-health conditioning, and preventative health maintenance. It does not possess medical qualifications, cannot diagnose or treat diseases, and all services are for daily health maintenance and relaxation, and cannot replace hospital treatment. If you have any symptoms, please seek medical attention at a qualified medical institution first.
Q2: What are the differences between Daojiu, Ruojiu, and regular moxibustion?
A: Daojiu and Ruojiu are unique health preservation methods developed by Xishoukang based on ancient methods. They are rooted in the traditional concept of meridian health preservation and are different from medical moxibustion. They are non-medical care projects, focusing on warming and soothing, clearing and relaxing, and harmonizing the body and mind. They are not intended to treat diseases and are suitable for daily strengthening and maintenance, and relieving physical fatigue and discomfort.
Q3: Which groups of people are suitable for sub-health conditioning and disease prevention at Xishoukang?
A: Suitable for the general population who experience chronic fatigue, irregular sleep patterns, and are in a sub-healthy state, and wish to proactively manage their health and maintain their well-being through daily practices; middle-aged and elderly individuals can also choose physiotherapy and moxibustion programs for soothing and nourishing care. It is not recommended for individuals with acute or critical illnesses, broken skin, or who are pregnant. It is advised to inform them of their health condition before attempting any treatment.
Q4: What is the working principle of Xishoukang's multidimensional bionic health bed, and are there any side effects?
A: The multidimensional bionic health bed is based on the concept of meridian health preservation, combined with bionic rhythm and ergonomic design. It is a non-drug, non-invasive health and wellness therapy device, mainly for gentle stretching, spinal relaxation, and meridian soothing, without injections or medication. It is a health care device, not a medical device, and is only for relaxation and conditioning; if you feel uncomfortable during the experience, you need to stop immediately.
Q5: What is the relationship between Xishoukang and hospitals/traditional Chinese medicine institutions? Can it replace hospital treatment?
A: The two are completely different. Hospitals and regular TCM clinics are medical institutions responsible for disease diagnosis and treatment; Xishoukang, as a non-medical health and wellness institution, focuses on proactive health management, including preventative care, sub-health conditioning, and daily physical therapy. It serves as a supplement to health prevention and absolutely cannot replace hospital diagnosis, treatment, or medication. People already diagnosed with chronic or organic diseases can use the health and wellness programs here as a relaxation aid while following their doctor's instructions.
