In China,the belief in the oneness of all things in nature formed the traditional Chinese healing system.According to this system,life energy (chi)flows through the universe and the individual,creating a wholeness among things and people.This life energy,which connects a person's organs together and to the universe,is disrupted in illness or injury but can be influenced by stimulating various points along the energy pathways (meridians).Healers in the Chinese tradition use herbs or techniques such as acupuncture to promote balance.
