00:00I'm Wu Weijuan, the head of the China-World Taoism Association.

00:26I've been a member of the association for 28 years.

00:32Basically, we can do the Taoism therapy for the whole body,

00:35especially the shoulders, waist, head, and feet.

00:40The benefits of Taoism therapy are many.

00:56Taoism therapy can promote blood circulation and metabolism,

00:59rejuvenate our qi and blood,

01:01eliminate our aches and pains,

01:02and improve our sleep quality.

01:04It can also help our gastrointestinal movement,

01:06improve our constipation.

01:21At first, it hurts,

01:23so I need to communicate with my teacher.

01:26It still hurts when I cut the parts that don't have any flesh,

01:28such as the top of my head.

01:32I feel that my body is getting warmer,

01:36and I feel more comfortable.

01:39It's like a yoga stretching.
