As traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has proved to be effective in the treatment of the novel coronavirus-related pneumonia, many people are beginning to try the therapy.
For those patients in the stage of recovery, a set of Six Healing Sounds (also called Liuzijue in Chinese) Qigong is recommended by TCM experts.

The Six Healing Sounds is a breathing technique devised by the ancient Chinese to improve health and promote healing and longevity. The earliest record of the breathing technique is believed to appear during the Southern and Northern Dynasties written by Tao Hongjing, a well-known TCM doctor, Taoist, alchemist as well as astrologer who lived from AD 456 to 536.
According to the TCM theory, the five major organs — heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney — are each assigned an element (fire, earth, metal, water or wood). Every organ also has an associated sound which the organ resonates with. By using the associated sound, stale and congested qi can be expelled from the affected organ and be replaced with fresh and clear qi.
Therefore, the Six Healing Sounds practice helps to move congested qi and allow the body to get rid of it by creating different internal vibrations and pressures within different parts of the body through the inhaling and exhaling of air. In other words, when people make the six healing sounds, they are giving the internal organs a good massage to expel stale qi.
