In chiropractic, we call it innate intelligence. In other cultures, that mysterious life force is called chi or prana. Life force, energy, and vitality all evoke the same meaning [...] chiropractic care helps restore the proper nerve flow in the body’s bioenergetic, or bioelectric system. Acupuncture works in a similar way to restore energy flow [...] homeopathy may be one of the most energy-efficient healthcare systems available today [...] two hundred years old, homeopathy is still on the cutting edge of energy technology";

The body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health. The healing process is ordered and intelligent; nature heals through the response of the life force. The physician's role is to facilitate and augment this process [...] first do no harm. Therapeutic actions that are complementary to and synergistic with the body's innate healing process prevent harm to patients. Naturopathic physicians follow three precepts to avoid harming the patient: 1) use methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk if harmful effects, and apply the least possible force or intervention necessary to diagnose the illness. 2) whenever possible, avoid symptom suppression as it can interfere with the healing process. 3) respect and cooperate with the vis medicatrix naturae in diagnosis, treatment, and counseling";

"unlike acute diseases which have a limited duration upon the vital force, chronic diseases can remain in the individual for decades [...] all this eventually leads to a terminal situation due to a weakening of the vital force. Whether it be a specific terminal disease or not, chronic diseases are about the erosion of the stability of the life force. It is only through this continual decline, in the all of the dynamic aspects of the vital force, that we observe the general downward spiraling trend in the over all well being of the individual [...] what they will most likely fail to recognize, is that a traumatic event in someone's life if left unresolved, has enough power in the event to subvert the quality and the stability of the vital force. The destabilization of the life force, with all of its attending checks and balances existing solely to promote homeostasis, then tacitly permits from a place of weakness, illness and disease to begin to occur [...] this almost imperceptible decline is recognized by the vital force's attempt to call for help, by producing symptoms";

[in "Healing Power of Nature, The Vis Medicatrix Naturae - James Sensenig, ND" (2011)]
.
"the concept of the vis medicatrix naturae (the healing power of nature) or the physis […] vital force, vitality, simple substance, constructive force in nature, and dynamis, are historically used in naturopathic medicine. Similar terms are found in the indigenous healing traditions of most cultures including, prana, chi, life force and others […] the idea of a ‘vital principle’ at work in nature […] an unquantifable force or agency […] an intelligent force or organizing principle […] naturopathy or naturopathic medicine by that name was the born of an effort lead by Benedict Lust in 1896 to consolidate a number of existing medical practices under one school […] the practices that Lust and his colleagues brought together in a single profession included those of water cure or hydrotherapy, nature cure, homeopathy, hygiene […] while these healing practices may seem disparate at first glance they are united by being vitalistic […] by vitalistic it is meant that these practices had in common, whether stated explicitly or not, the concept of a vital principle […] this vital force or the vis medicatrix naturae […] vitalism is the opinion that a force neither chemical nor mechanical is responsible for the phenomenon of life  […] Hahnemann’s tenth aphorism explains it thusly: ‘the material organism, without the vital force, is capable of no sensation, no function, no self-preservation; it derives all sensation and performs all the functions of life solely by means of the immaterial being (the vital principle) which animates the material organism in health and in disease’ […] the nature of life or vital force […] the vitalistic conception of life […] regards vital force as the primary force of all forces, coming from the great central source of all life. This force, which permeates, heats, and animates the entire created universe, is an expression of divine intelligence and will, the 'logos' the 'word' of the great creative intelligence. It is the divine energy which sets in motion the whirls in the ether, the electric corpuscles that make up the atoms and the elements of matter […] the life force, itself a manifestation of the great creative intelligence which some call god, others nature, the oversoul, brahma, prana, the great spirit, etc. […] this supreme intelligence and power acting in and through every atom, molecule and cell in the human body, which is the true healer, 'the vis medicatrix nature' which endeavors to repair, to heal and to restore the perfect type. All that the physician can do is to remove obstructions, and to establish normal conditions within and around the patient, so that 'the healer within' can do his work to the best advantage […] it is seen from the forgoing that the concept of a vital force (by whatever name) is used to describe the phenomena that living systems tend toward balance and order, and further that is the role of the physician to support, encourage or stimulate this tendency while simultaneously removing any impediments to its expression […] quoting Lindlahr, ‘health is normal and harmonious vibration of the elements and forces composing the human entity on the physical, mental and moral planes of being, in conformity with the constructive principle in nature applied to individual life’ […] an even more eloquent description of health is Hahnemann’s ninth aphorism: ‘in the healthy condition of man, the spiritual vital force, the dynamis that animates the material body' [etc...] we see this same concept described in Hahnemann’s eleventh aphorism: ‘when a person falls ill, it is only this spiritual, self-acting vital force, everywhere present in his organism, that is primarily deranged by the dynamic influence upon it of a morbific agent inimical to life; it is only the vital principle’ [etc.…] the vitalistic therapies that make up the practice of naturopathic medicine have thought of this underlying disturbance as the beginning of disease […] the concept of a vital force or organizing principle […] in order to restore health or balance one must work with the tendency to move towards balance, that is work with the vital force […] to reverse the disease process, or more correctly, to restore order or balance to the body. It is synonymous with assisting the vital force or the healing power of nature […] the restoration of health requires using treatment methods which work with the vis medicatrix naturae or the constructive principle in nature […] according to Lindlahr they are […#5] economize vital force […] there is probably nothing else of therapeutic value in the vitalist model that is not covered by one of these descriptions […] because no distinction is made amongst physical, mental and spiritual symptoms […] the naturopathic physician strives to assist the body, mind and spirit in moving in the direction of health or balance […] doing so is inimical to the direction of the natural tendencies toward correction, more philosophically, is inimical to the vital force  […] in the language of vitalism such treatment suppresses the symptoms […] it is the premise of the vitalist school of medicine that where this reaction fails, it is the physician’s task to stimulate or assist the corrective tendency […] the degree of response and it’s probable outcome are proportional to the degree to which the patient’s vitality will respond […] coughing, diarrhea, vomiting, inflammation are rather robust effects of a strong vital force […] Lindlahr, ‘chronic disease is a condition of the organism in which lowered vibration (lowered vitality), due to accumulation of waste material and poisons, with the consequent destruction of vital parts and organs, has progressed to such an extent that nature’s constructive and healing forces are no longer able to react against the disease conditions by acute corrective efforts.’ When we are healthy, or in balance, or have by definition sufficient vitality we are not sick. As we move away from normal function with decreasing vitality  [...] on the other hand, the individual is not strong enough, if their vitality is to low or weak to make the correction, the disturbance will continue. Such a condition is chronic illness […] restoration of balance, that is, movement toward health in a person who is chronically ill results in increases vitality. Continued increase in vitality [...] in the vitalistic model no distinction is made between the mental and physical symptoms, or, for that matter, the spiritual symptoms [...] the lack of vitality can effect all levels of our being [...] spiritual, mental and physical symptoms can all be understood as manifestation of a disturbance in the vital force [...] this collection of symptoms gives a complete picture of the disturbance in the person’s government, or more consistently here, the disturbance in their vital force [..] a cursory glance at the materias medica of vitalist medical practices will demonstrate that symptoms ordinarily thought of as ‘physical’ or ‘mental’ are listed together as indications for the remedies [...] the vitalistic model of medicine can be thought of as creating or helping to create an environment which supports, and encourages the vis medicatrix naturae […] an optimal internal and external environment which provides the needs of the organism, removes or allows for the removal of encumbrances and conserves or stimulates the vitality  […] the vitalist sees the phenomena of infection in light of the susceptibility of the host […] in his discussion concerning ‘tissue changes’ as the end result of disease, itself a disturbance in the vital force, Kent says that [etc….] disturbances in the ‘government’ or order as the cause of illness […] that which stimulates or evokes a reaction of the ‘physis’ is curative";

Homeopaths believe that their medicines or remedies mobilize the vital force to orchestrate healing responses throughout the organism in a coordinated fashion (Hahnemann, 1843), rather than by local actions on specific drug receptors in the physical body. The body translates the information of the vital force into local physical changes and hence recovery from acute and chronic diseases. The homeopathic inference from finding an individual less resilient or adaptable to environmental stressors of many types is that the person has a weaker vital force [...] given the lack of tools with which to make direct assessments, patients’ symptoms and changes in symptoms are the primary, albeit indirect, measure of the strength and specific expression of the vital force [...] to evaluate vital force clinically, homeopaths [etc....] homeopaths use the vital force assessment to guide dose (potency) selection and treatment pace and to judge the likely clinical course and prognosis [...] Milgrom’s recent theoretical paper [...] presents a well-reasoned case for reconceptualizing homeopathic vital force within contemporary complex systems theory [p.124 etc.]";

"after lively debate in a stimulating attempt to harness the substance behind the healing power of nature, the vis medicatrix naturae, participants gained momentum and unity in both agreeing, and agreeing to disagree. This was a first step in recognizing that a unifying theory of naturopathic medicine was not going to mean exclusion, but rather inclusively naming unifying boundaries and diverse models that define scope and standards of practice. Instead of deciding whether or not vital force is used by the spirit, the source of spirit, the same as spirit, or unrelated to spirit, participants unanimously agreed that it exists and informs the practice of naturopathic medicine. That was enough. This discussion was deftly guided by retreat facilitator Valerie Campbell, and associate editors for the textbook’s spirituality section, Louise Edwards, ND, LAc and the late Emma Bezy, MSW";

"James Sensenig, ND: Joe’s comments have me thinking about the historical roots of naturopathic medicine and this part of the foundations textbook. I am thinking of words or phrases that we have borrowed from our predecessors that we use interchangeably; vis medicatrix naturae, vitality, simple substance. Hahnemann talks about the dynamis and so on. We do that without differentiating one from the other. Unlike Chinese medicine, for example, where we have different kinds of qi - ancestral qi, kidney qi, and so forth - in the west we just throw around this idea of energy in this very ill-defined way [...] the vis medicatrix naturae and vitality. The vis is this tendency in nature towards organization, order and purpose [...] homeostasis or balance on the physical level, this tendency of living organisms to be ordered and orderly [...] the vis is always there, because it describes the organizational tendency in nature [...]  a medical dictionary I have that was written in 1865 defines the vis medicatrix naturae; vis being force, medicatrix meaning medicine or healing, and naturae being nature [...] ‘a power supposed to preside over the living body and to possess the faculty of resisting, to a certain extent the effects of disease and restoring health’ [...] vitalism [...] this invisible, immeasurable force called the ‘vital force.’ In Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, it is stated that ‘vitalism is the opinion that a force neither chemical nor physiological is responsible for life’ [...] James Sensenig, ND: That is an interesting point, Emma. I think that most of the pure sciences are coming to the place where they are up against this question, about this organizational force in some other reality that is reflected in the physical [...] Joseph E. Pizzorno, ND: [...] what is this power or force in the universe that is creating this highly structured entity we call life? [...] there is this force throughout the universe that moves toward organization, moves toward life, and empowers all living things [...] Jared Zeff, ND: [...] by understanding there is this thing, this force that self organizes and self heals, then my task as a clinician isn’t to heal [...] my task is to work with the wisdom of that force [...] that leads me to understanding a healing reaction not as pathology, but instead as an awakening of this healing force and something to be celebrated and worked with rather than something to be suppressed [...] James Sensenig, ND: [...] he does so without invoking any kind of funny ideas, like vital force, or magical substances and so on [...] Pamela Snider, ND: [...] I question whether or not the healing power of nature is different than the force or the energetic systems of spirit [...] I know from the definition process that the profession undertook in the 1980s that this issue of spirit and the life force, and what that means to us, was incredibly important as a unifying idea. [...] what keeps all that entropy from flying apart is incredibly intriguing, and points, for me, toward a concept of God. But is that different from the healing power of nature or the vital force? [...] UnifiedEnergetics™: This raises some thoughts regarding death and vitality, or death and this vital force being discussed [...] Pamela Snider, ND: [...] through the strength of his vital force, he stood up, and stayed standing and walking until several days before he died [...] it was a magnificent expression of his vital force. Watching his vital force lift him up that way deeply affected me. There seems to be something quite distinguishable between people’s expression of vital force, even as their bodies are going. What is that other force, or energy, that keeps the person alive and as fully present as the remaining elements of their physical system will allow? Whatever it is, I question whether it is explicable from the materialistic view, which holds that the physiological systems are the actual source or creator of vital energy [...] Joseph E. Pizzorno, ND: [...] there was an incredible life force or manifestation of the will to live, independent of the physical body dying down. Pamela Snider, ND: Explaining life force in this context and how it relates to the vis medicatrix naturae is evidence of its mystery and greatness, and its value for deep contemplation as a foundation for naturopathic medicine";

Miasm is understood to be a derangement of the vital force that predates and is more fundamental than the current illness from which the patient suffers [...] he felt that the miasmatic infection was communicated almost instantly to the whole vital force [...] it should be noted that Hahnemann and other great homeopaths saw the miasms as a living, spiritual force";

In the discussions about mechanistic vs. vitalistic medicine, homeopathy, as an 'energy medicine', presumed to be acting upon a 'vital force', is invariably assigned to the vitalistic side [...] the intellect, emotions, and intuition of the homeopath are the vehicles through which the vital force of the patient is perceived [...] retuning the vital force [...] in a prolonged aggravation, the primary action of the remedy uses up too much vitality in producing symptoms so that the vital force has too little energy to produce a long, enduring, healing response [...] if the remedy is close enough, the accessory symptoms will be removed by the vital force without causing any real problems [...] the major difference between a ʻsimilar aggravationʼ and a ʻhealing crisisʼ is that an aggravation is controlled by the primary action of the remedy and the healing crisis is controlled by the secondary curative response of the vital force";
