Description
"Healers manipulate the flow of energy through the body, increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and speeding up the natural healing process. Their art is an outgrowth of a far more ancient technique - one that was lost when the era of exploration came to a close, long, long ago.

In the beginning, when explorers first sailed out into uncharted seas, we waterbenders understood that the water within our bodies could be manipulated, and we used this ability to adapt to our environment. We perfected a type of thermoregulation that we called bloodbending. This technique represents the ultimate control and mastery over one's own body.

A bloodbender can lower their body temperature and slow their heart rate, respiration, and metabolic rate dramatically. While they are in this state of torpor, they can endure frigid temperatures and survive for long periods without food. Bloodbenders call this “the small death”. In some ways, it resembles hibernation, except it is initiated consciously, with the aid of bending. And, when the time comes, bloodbending offers one final gift: rather than languish in the infirmity of fatal illness or old age, a master can quietly and painlessly stop their own heart.

This is your birthright."
