, also commonly spelled ch'i, chi or ki, is a fundamental concept of everyday Chinese culture, most often defined as "air" or "breath" (for example, the colloquial Mandarin Chinese term for "weather" is tian qi, or the "breath of heaven") and, by extension, "life force" or "spiritual energy" that is part of everything that exists. References to qi or similar philosophical concepts as a type of metaphysical energy that sustains living beings are used in many belief systems.
In addition to weight loss, acupuncture often treats irregular bowel movements, irregular menstrual flow, mood swings, PMS, tiredness and fatigue, toxic build up in the blood and other related symptoms and causes of obesity.
