"Hahnemann worried about the poisoning effect of large doses of crude drugs. He developed a method of diluting and shaking (succussing) the remedies that moved homeopathy into the realms of energy medicine, working on the body’s vital force (in common with many other complementary therapies) to re-establish harmony and allow healing to take place [...] reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy, the vital force that flows through all matter. It is based on an ancient Tibetan method of natural healing";

"traditional acupuncture is based on the belief that an energy, or ‘life force’, flows through the body in channels called meridians. This life force is known as qi (pronounced 'chee'). Practitioners who traditionally use acupuncture believe that when qi does not flow freely through the body, this can cause illness. They also believe acupuncture can restore the flow of qi, thus restoring health";

"complementary medicine (CM) includes many different techniques of treating a patient […] they all have one aspect in common […] treating the life force of the patient […] biodynamic massage. In common with all complementary medicine treatments, the vital force [etc….] holism […] treatments focused on the physical, mental, emotions, vital force, spirit and soul […] homoeopathy. Hippocrates and Samual[sp.] Hahnemann (1796) are credited with using the homoeopathic principle. This means treating the vital force to enable the body to re-energize it own repair mechanisms […] naturopathy [...] pranic healing. Prana is the Sanskrit word for ‘life force.’ The traditional healer interacts with the patient’s aura or energy field to allow and[sp.] interaction of healing energy to take place";

The application of vitalism within naturopathy/naturopathic medicine is based on the understanding that the body has an innate ability to heal, and that life, health and disease follow certain laws and principles that are logical and innate. Vitalism postulates that there is a self-organizing principle within all life and recognizes that life is ordered and intelligent. The innate intelligence of the human body animates every individual and refers to forces that not only include but go beyond the physical or chemical self in governing life, health, and healing. Naturopathic practice aims to facilitate and augment this process by identifying and removing the obstacles to health and recovery, and by supporting the creation of healthy internal and external environments [p.008 ...] naturopathic principles. Naturopathic practice is characterized by the consistent application of seven fundamental distinct yet inter-related principles which complement the naturopathic philosophies of vitalism and holism. The naturopathic principles are [...] II. healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae) [...] first, do no harm, or primum non nocere [...] naturopathic practitioners approach this principle following three precepts for avoiding harm [...] respecting and working with the vis medicatrix naturae in all facets of naturopathic assessment, diagnosis, and treatment [...] figure 2.1: Global consensus of naturopathic principles reported by naturopathic professional associations [...] 100%.  Healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae) [...] 95%.  First, do no harm (primum non nocere) [p.009...] healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae). It is the naturopath's/naturopathic doctor's role to support, facilitate and augment the healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae) [...] its innate healing process [...] the vis medicatrix naturae, the healing power of the body [...] the vis medicatrix naturae explains the intrinsic and innate healing processes within every individual [...] the human body possesses a natural ability to resist most diseases, and an inherent mechanisms of recovery and self-regulation [...] Henry Lindlahr [...] stated that the vis medicatrix naturae 'endeavors to repair, to heal and to restore obstructions and to establish normal conditions, so that the healer within can do his work to the best advantage' [...] there are numerous examples of the vis medicatrix naturae

"[via NDs Wardle, Steel, Lloyd] naturopathic practice is therapeutically diverse with a consistent holistic and person-centered approach centered on a core philosophical and traditional knowledge framework that focuses on the effective prioritization of non-invasive or non-pharmacological interventions and preventive care [...] as detailed in Section 1, as a traditional medicine system the foundational basis of naturopathic practice is its philosophical approach to health and disease defined by two philosophies and seven principles [...] this core philosophical and principles-based approach to treatment has also allowed naturopathy/naturopathic medicine to be successfully translated and implemented into a wide variety of geographic and socio-cultural settings and practice environments [...] as discussed in Chapter 2, as a traditional system of medicine, naturopathy / naturopathic medicine is defined by the application of its overarching philosophical frameworks in all aspects of naturopathic care, rather than its specific use of natural treatments and therapies [...] informed by philosophical and principles-based naturopathic theories [...] the naturopathic philosophical focus on non-pharmacological approaches and a therapeutic hierarchy of healing has meant that it has often been able to achieve such results even in the absence of conventional drug treatment [...] naturopaths / naturopathic doctors have a philosophically strong focus on empowerment and building capacity in individuals and communities to self-manage their health [...] for example, health promotion education is a cornerstone of naturopathic practice, both philosophically and in terms of healthcare delivery, which has resulted in sustained and long-term clinical improvements among naturopathic patients due to improved self-management of health [...] the holistic philosophy and principles-based naturopathic approach to health has many overlaps with public health paradigms [...] the philosophically-based naturopathic approach on education – docere – further facilitates this role [...] the diversity of treatment and therapies employed by naturopaths / naturopathic doctors, coupled with the range of conditions and populations they treat, and the unique consistent philosophically and principles-based naturopathic approach to using therapeutic tools, places naturopaths / naturopathic doctors in a strong position for identifying, testing, and assisting with the understanding of new treatment options for existing and emerging conditions [...] there is a global consistency in the application of traditional naturopathic philosophies and principles by the global naturopathic community";

"the foundational basis of the naturopathic profession includes 2 philosophies: vitalism and holism [...] philosophies: vitalism and holism. The philosophies of vitalism and holism are core to naturopathic practice globally [...] naturopathy arises from the application of 7 fundamental principles, which complement the naturopathic philosophies of vitalism and holism [...] naturopathic principles. A summary of the 7 naturopathic principles are as follows: first, do no harm (primum non nocere) refers not only to the patient but to the patient’s vital force [...] what these traditional forms of medicine have in common is the understanding that the body has an innate ability to heal – referred to as vitalism [...] vitalism and holism are the core naturopathic philosophies. Vitalism is the basis for the development of the naturopathic principle vis medicatrix naturae and the theories vital force and the theory of vitality [...] emunctory theory states that proper elimination of toxins is essential to overall health [...] elimination of toxins assists vitality and its corollary; conversely, lack of elimination blocks vitality or vital force [...] for example, the theory vital force is synonymous with the naturopathic philosophy vitalism";
