Daoist Alchemy is a traditional Chinese practice that combines philosophy, spirituality, and physical techniques to achieve personal transformation and immortality. It focuses on the cultivation of vital energy, or Qi, through meditation, breathing exercises, and dietary practices. The goal is to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, leading to enhanced health and longevity. There are two main branches of Daoist Alchemy: internal and external. Internal alchemy emphasizes inner transformation through meditation and self-cultivation, while external alchemy involves the use of herbal medicines and elixirs. Both approaches aim to refine one's essence and achieve a state of balance with the universe.
