Chinese Alchemy is not a method for instant results, but a traditional framework for understanding how vitality is formed, preserved, and gradually transformed over time. Unlike modern approaches that often focus on stimulation or quick enhancement, Chinese alchemical thought views the human body as an interconnected system shaped by rhythm, balance, and conservation.
