A Chinese doctor will talk about a person having strong chi, weak chi, stagnant chi, collapsed chi etc. These conditions manifest themselves in ways they can recognize, diagnose, and treat if necessary.

Meridians and blood vessels are the pathways through which ki energy circulates around the body. They include 14 major and 6 minor meridians.

These channels are associated with the major organs of the body, though these organs do not always coincide with western anatomical ideas.
