[Avatar] How does healing work?

Water benders can heal someone but how does that even work?

Waterbending can indirectly affect the body's *ki* energy. This is nothing special, since a *lot* of things can affect your *ki* (like jabbing pressure points with needles or your fingers) but waterbending is good at doing it with finesse. Healing techniques stimulate the body's *ki* pathways to maximize its ability to heal itself.
