Chi and Healing - Waterbending

The healing technique we see Katara learn at the Northern Watertribe is based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine idea of chi and chi meridians.

In traditional Chinese culture, qì (also chi or ch’i) is an active principle forming part of any living thing.

Chi is frequently translated as life energy or life-force. It is the central underlying principle in traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the body has natural patterns of chi that circulate in channels called meridians.

These meridians are what the waterbenders use for healing and which Ty Lee blocks with her chi-blocking moves.
