🌿 Why Does Master Hou Recommend Water Fasting?

According to Master Hou’s system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, many chronic conditions begin when the body’s detox systems become overwhelmed.

When the liver and kidneys are not functioning at their full capacity, toxins can begin circulating in the blood.

Over time, this can affect many systems in the body.

The liver’s job is to clean and filter the blood.
But when the body is constantly processing food and metabolic waste, the liver never fully gets the chance to rest and clear accumulated toxins.

This is one reason Master Hou teaches water fasting.

During a properly guided fast, the body can redirect its energy toward:

• cleansing the liver
• supporting kidney function
• circulating and releasing stored toxins
• restoring balance to the organs

Many students report that after this process, they feel:

• clearer mentally
• more focused
• lighter in the body
• more balanced internally

Because when the body is no longer overwhelmed with toxins, the organs can begin functioning the way they were designed to.

🌿 Fibroids Don’t Appear for No Reason

In Master Hou’s system of Traditional Chinese Medicine,
fibroids are not viewed as an isolated condition.

They often reflect a deeper imbalance in the body.

When kidney function weakens, hormone balance can become disrupted.
Over time, this imbalance may contribute to issues such as:

• Fibroids
• Breast cysts
• Lumps under the arms
• Swelling around the lymph areas
• Chronic stagnation in the body

According to Master Hou, the goal is not to chase each symptom separately.

The goal is to restore balance to the organs that regulate the system.

This is one reason he teaches water fasting.

When done correctly and supported with Medical Qigong, the body can redirect its energy toward:

• clearing stagnation
• supporting kidney function
• improving lymphatic circulation
• restoring internal balance

Many students report improvements in chronic conditions once the body finally has the space to detox and rebalance.

Digestion is usually finished about 5 hours after your last meal.

But that doesn’t mean the body is ready to cleanse yet.

First, the body must fully shift out of “food-processing mode.”

Only after more time passes — usually 18–24 hours — does the body begin redirecting its energy toward deeper internal repair:

• Breaking down accumulated waste
• Releasing stored metabolic toxins
• Clearing stagnation from the organs
• Recycling damaged or dysfunctional cells
• Restoring internal balance

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is when the organs finally get the space they need to purify and reset.

This is why real transformation doesn’t happen from skipping a meal or two.

It begins when the body crosses this deeper threshold.

And this is exactly why Master Hou teaches a minimum 72-hour water fast — so the body has enough time to fully enter this deeper cleansing state.

During the fast, Master Hou guides students through specific Medical Qigong exercises that support the five major organs:

• Heart
• Spleen
• Lungs
• Kidneys
• Liver

These practices help the body release stagnation and restore energetic communication between the organ systems.

They tested it day by day.
24 hours: nothing.�48 hours: still nothing.�72 hours: the switch flips.
Nature Metabolism (March 2024) found that this is when the kidneys, liver, heart, lungs—every organ—begins releasing the blockages associated with back pain, tinnitus, hormone swings, cold feet, fatigue, PMS, and more.
Master FaXiang Hou gives you exactly 72 hours of guided support.
Four live sessions.
Thu–Sat 6–8 PM EST�Sun 10–12 PM EST – you break the fast properly with his tonifying soup.
Many who have practiced with us for years go longer.
But this class? The fast is a minimum of 72 hours.�That’s the line. New or experienced—everyone starts at the same door.
Six Medical QiGong exercises. One for each organ. No guesswork.
Replays stay up for two weeks.
Small group. The link closes when it’s full.
Join us. Let the switch turn on.

Most people think fasting is about willpower.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s about timing.

Mid-May is when the body transitions from Spring (Wood) into Summer (Fire).
This is when the body naturally begins releasing what accumulated during winter.

When done correctly, this seasonal window allows the organs to clear stagnation and reset their communication with one another.

🌿 May 14–17 | Spring Water Fast

During this guided fast, Master FaXiang Hou — a fifth-generation Medical Qigong master — teaches specific Qigong exercises designed to support the Five Elements and their corresponding organs:

• Liver
• Heart
• Spleen
• Lungs
• Kidneys

This fast is spring water only and is guided through Medical Qigong exercises for each organ system, helping the body detoxify while maintaining energetic balance.

Participants often report improvements in:

✨ fatigue
✨ inflammation
✨ digestion
✨ hormonal balance
✨ brain fog
✨ chronic pain
✨ emotional stress

When the organs clear stagnation, the body can begin functioning the way it was designed to.

This is not simply about not eating.

It is about restoring the natural circulation of energy through the organs and meridians.

🌿 Master Hou’s 5-Element Water Fast | May 14–17 🌿

People often say the same thing when they first hear about fasting:
“I could never go without food for three days.”

Master Hou always reassures them:

“It’s about building confidence. Many people feel unsure at first. But once they begin, they discover the body is capable of much more than they imagined.”

This is not simply about not eating.
Master Hou’s Water Fast is designed to support the body while it detoxifies, using Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.

During the fast, students learn practices that help:

• Clear toxins from the organs
• Restore balance to the Five Elements
• Support the body’s six major organ systems
• Improve circulation of Qi and blood
• Reset the body after winter and prepare for summer

When the organs are supported properly, fasting becomes much easier than people expect.

Many students report clearer thinking, improved energy, and a deeper connection to their body.

🌿 GUIDED WATER FAST – MAY 14 🌿
with Qigong Research Society

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healing often begins with simplicity.

Sometimes the most powerful reset is giving the body a pause from digestion — allowing energy to shift toward cleansing, repair, and balance.

✨ Join us May 14 for a guided Water Fast

This supportive experience is designed to help you:
• Reset digestion
• Support natural detoxification
• Improve energy clarity
• Reconnect with your body’s signals

In TCM, cleansing is only part of the process. Rebuilding with nourishing foods is just as important.

One example is yam (shan yao) — a deeply valued food in Chinese medicine.

🥣 Yam is known to:
• Support digestion and gut strength
• Provide potassium and clean carbohydrates
• Help restore energy after fasting
• Support healthy weight balance when used properly

You can:
• Steam it like a potato
• Add it to soups
• Use it as simple, nourishing recovery food after fasting

Simple food. Powerful support.
This is how everyday foods work with the body — not against it.

People often think fasting is extreme.

But in traditional Chinese practice, fasting was a respected method for cleansing the organs and strengthening internal energy.

Master FaXiang Hou once spoke about a teacher who fasted for three years as part of advanced training.

Most people will never attempt something like that.

But even a few days of properly guided fasting can activate powerful detoxification and organ repair.

During this fast, Master Hou teaches specific Qigong exercises designed to support the Heart, Spleen, Lungs, Kidneys, and Liver while the body releases toxins.

This is not about willpower.
It is about understanding how the body heals.

Some women struggle with infertility for years.

They try everything.

But in Traditional Chinese Medicine, fertility is deeply connected to the Kidneys.

The Kidneys govern reproductive vitality, hormone balance, and the body’s deepest reserves of energy.

When toxins accumulate and circulation becomes stagnant, the reproductive system may not function optimally.

During a properly guided fast, digestion quiets and the body begins releasing toxins while clearing internal stagnation.

As the system cleanses, the Kidneys can function more efficiently, and communication between the Kidneys, ovaries, and hormones can begin to rebalance.

Over the years, Master FaXiang Hou has worked with many women struggling with infertility.

Some later shared that after learning Qigong and participating in his fasting program…
they became pregnant.

Fasting is not about forcing the body.

It is about restoring the internal conditions where the body can function naturally again.
