Secret World of Wellness: Ancient China

The dream of eternal beauty. The search for perfect health. This quest for harmony between body and soul has been the hallmark of humanity from the earliest days of consciousness. In three episodes, "Secret World of Wellness" brings the timeless wisdom of some of the world's most advanced early cultures back to life: ancient India, China and Rome. The timeless culture of China created the world's first 'wellness bible' 2,500 years ago. The Chinese pursuit of a perfect balance between mind and matter, spirit and body, was nothing less than the quest for immortality. Because of its undeniable power, this ancient medical knowledge still flourishes today. The Chinese practice of health and wellness is based upon the observation and understanding of 'Chi' in the human body - the mysterious pathways of energy - the life force present everywhere in the universe.
