Traditional Chinese Medicine
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) our bodies are energized by Qi (chee), which is often translated as vital energy or life force. Qi flows along pathways called meridians which run the length of our limbs and to each of the organs, creating a vast network within the body. This web of energy represents a central concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine - the belief in a deep inter-connectedness between all aspects of our being.
Health is a state where there is a balanced and harmonious flow of Qi throughout our bodies. Likewise, disease is a condition where there is some kind of imbalance.
Dig the well, before you become thirsty.
