"naturopathic medicine is a distinctively natural approach to health and healing that recognizes the integrity of the whole person. Naturopathic medicine is heir to the vitalistic tradition of medicine in the Western world, emphasizing the treatment of disease through the stimulation, enhancement, and support of the inherent healing capacity of the person. Methods of treatments are chosen to work with the patient's vital force, respecting the intelligence of the natural healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine emerges from six underlying principles of healing […] the healing power of nature. 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 […] the process of healing includes the generation of symptoms which are, in fact, an expression of the life force attempting to heal itself. Therapeutic actions should be complimentary to and synergistic with this healing process. The physician's actions can support or antagonize the actions of the vis medicatrix naturae";

"Vis Medicatrix Naturae – LifeSource Octagon Series on Vitalism and Contemporary Scientific Paradigms.  Representing FNM, Executive and Senior Editors Snider and Pizzorno are participants in the Vitalism Conference and Contemporary Scientific Paradigms series at Life University. They join a diverse group of international faculty assembled for a rich interdisciplinary examination of the topic. A third conference in the series is scheduled for April 2011. This effort by the LifeSource Octagon Institute aligns with the FNM dialogue and publication on the Vis Medicatrix Naturae to strengthen and characterize this concept among those involved with natural healing. FNM’s discussions and submissions, on the Vis Medicatrix Naturae and the Metaparadigm taxonomy were well received. The Vis dialogue taking place through FNM within the naturopathic medical community is recognized by the Octagon Institute as a leading initiative to, through scholarship; characterize the Vis Medicatrix Naturae in the healing professions. Life Source Octagon has “a mission [...] the dialogue will be based on vitalistic philosophy' [...] http://life.edu/Octagon [...] 1762 - Christof Wilhelm Friedrich Hufeland (d. 1836) Major articulator of vitalistic medicine";

Acupuncture is used to correct the flow of qi, so to restore health and vitality.  Chinese medicine recognizes 12 major meridians, or pathways, for qi [...] these meridians form an in visible network that carries qi to every tissue in the body. Acupuncture stimulates specific points along these path ways to rebalance a person’s energy, or qi, by redirecting or stimulating it [p.173...] the therapies described here as bodywork are those that focus primarily on the physical functioning of the body or its functioning in combination with the flow of vital energy, or qi, in the body [p.193...] applied kinesiology, and a closely related technique 'touch for health,' use the meridian qi (vital energy) and connections between the neurologic and muscular systems to make diagnoses and provide therapy [p.194...] shiatsu practitioners apply pressure to specific points, called tsubos, on the meridians, to rebalance the body’s ki (the Japanese word for vital energy) [...] points are stimulated through a combination of thumb pressure and transfer of ki from the practitioner [...] pressure is applied to the meridian points and held in specific patterns to energize or enervate the meridian ki [p.211...] naturopathy has a great deal in common with oriental healing philosophies [...] the oriental concept of life force, or qi, and the naturopathic concept of the healing power of nature are similar in theory if not in language [p.296...] qigong promotes health, longevity, and healing through exercises designed to circulate and balance qi, or vital energy, in the body [...] qigong exercises combine repetitions of slow, gently flowing movements of the arms, legs, and torso with mental concentration to allow for the movement of qi within the body [...] during exercise, the practitioner focuses on moving qi through the body’s pathways, but describing the moving of the qi as something that the individual 'does' through his or her own effort is misleading [...] the mental effort can be more accurately defined as mentally getting out of the way so the qi can move freely through the body [p.342...] the source of qi is in the dan tian, located just below the navel. Therefore, each stance begins with hands placed just below the navel at the dan tian and ends with the return of qi to its store house.  As practitioners carry out the movements, they feel the building and the flow of qi throughout the body before it is returned to the dan tian [...] just as water tends to find equilibrium, qi flows where it needs to go, back to balance if allowed and encouraged [...] this exercise is good for nourishing the dan tian the source of qi in the body [p.343...] these masters can emit their qi to balance that of the patient and promote health and healing [p.344...] traditional Chinese medicine places primary emphasis on the balance of qi [...] or vital energy. There are 12 major meridians, or pathways, for qi, and each is associated with a major vital organ or vital function.These meridians form an invisible network that carries qi to every tissue in the body [p.346...] pulse readings [...] reveal the flow of qi through the body and can indicate energy imbalances and their causes [p.347...] a wide range of therapies are used in traditional Chinese medicine to correct physical symptoms, restore energetic balance, and redirect and normalize a person’s qi. Some of the treatment options used are acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, massage, moxibustion, qigong [...] acupuncture is used to correct the flow of qi to restore health by stimulating specific points along these pathways [p.348...] moxibustion is the use of heat on energetically active points of the body to stimulate the flow of qi. Practitioners burn the crushed leaves, or moxa, of a daisy-like plant, Artemisia vulgaris, in loose or stick forms to release a radiant heat that penetrates deeply and restores the balance and flow of qi [...] the use of heat to stimulate points on the body works on the same principles as acupuncture and is believed to predate the use of needles to stimulate the flow of qi [...] qigong is used to promote health, longevity, and healing through exercises designed to circulate and balance qi, or vital energy, in the body [p.350]";
