Before introducing Tai Chi in Western countries, the health benefit is explained by traditional Chinese medicine, which is not compatible with modern medicine.

Many studies Scientists have taken place in the art of Tai Chi, and the results were very favorable.

A scientific study showed a significant relationship between Tai Chi and a vaccine. A group of healthy adults were given VARIVAX, which is the chickenpox vaccine, and only half of them participated in Tai Chi. The varicella zoster virus causes an infection and skin rash known as chickenpox, and if the virus would be reactivated, is known as shingles. The study showed that 16 weeks later, those who participated in Tai Chi on a regular basis had a higher level of immunity to shingles than those who did not comply with art martial. Performing Tai Chi does not directly prevent anyone getting shingles, but increase the effectiveness of the vaccine.
