[in "Naturopathic Medicine: Aletris Center, Scottsdale, AZ"]

"the practice of naturopathy emerges from six underlying principles of healing. These principles [...include, #1] the healing power of nature: vis medicatrix naturae. 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";

[in "The History of Acupuncture"]

"acupuncture was and still is a major mode of treatment for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners. A direct translation from this early text describes acupuncture as putting holes in the body to regulate qi [...] what is qi? The literal translation of qi from Chinese means 'breath' just as our English word 'spirit' comes from the Latin 'spiritus' or 'breath.' Qi can be understood as your life force or vital energy. You can imagine pathways of qi flowing through your body [...] qi operates like [...] water ways [...] the pathways where qi flows are called meridians [...] if qi cannot take its normal course, excess qi will accumulate at the impasse and other areas of your body will not receive the vitality needed to be well. Improper flow manifests as pain or sickness, be it a tummy ache or insomnia [...] acupuncture is used to regulate the flow of qi by inserting thin metal needles at specific points along the meridians where qi flows [...] information gathered during the diagnostic process will inform your acupuncturist where qi is imbalanced. Then, he or she will work along meridians where qi flows to problem area [...e.g.] placement strengthens the flow of qi to the kidney if it is deficient or to drains qi if there is excess [...] to remove blockages of energy and to promote free flow [...] some patients say that they feel a pleasurable sensation when a desired point is located. We call this 'the arrival of the qi'";

[in "The Energetics of Health: A Naturopathic Assessment"(2009)]

"the body has an innate ability to heal (vis medicatrix naturae) [p.xi...] we once again believe that human life is integrated with nature (holism) and that there is a force, beyond ourselves, that guides us (vitalism) [p.004...] Socrates [...] used the term logos or 'will to live' to describe the vital principle present in man, yet the origins of vitalism are often associated with Aristotle [..] the 'soul' animated and directed the body [p.005...] vital substances [...include] qi [...] qi is the animating life force and substance.

The healing power of nature is an important principle of naturopathic medicine. 'The basic philosophical premise of naturopathic medicine is that there is an inherent healing power in nature' [p.032...] the personal essence is a descriptive concept of an individual's vital or life force. Vital force is considered the primary force of all forces. It is the divine creative intelligence. The collective life force, or vital force, is a common pool of subtle energy [...] personal essence refers to an individual's life force or vital energy, which comes from the collective life force [p.040...] systems theory supports the concepts of vitalism and holism [p.060...] qi or life force [p.102...] the naturopathic definition of health and disease is based on the concepts of holism and vitalism [p.120...] the life force or qi [p.196...] life force is the force, power or energy which enlivens the material organism [...] the spirit-like life force that enlivens [...] prana is the life force, equivalent to qi [...] the vital life-sustaining force [...] qi is a Chinese term for vital energy or life force [...] the concept of qi, or some similar life force, is incorporated into many therapies used in the holistic approach to health [p.238...] vitalism is the view that life is governed by forces beyond oneself. There's forces are unique to living beings and permit them to go on living. The forces cannot be reduced to physical laws. Often it is associated with the notions of spirit or soul [p.239]";

[in "Six Guiding Principles"]

"guiding principle #1, the healing power of nature - viz medicatrix naturae. 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 [...] guiding principle #3, first do no harm - viz primum no nocere. Illiness [sp.] is a purposeful process of the organism. 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 he [sp., 'the'] viz [sp., 'vis'] medicatrix naturae";

Lomeli, L.M. (ND Bastyr 2004) states:

[for a bio., click here, ]

[in "Acupuncture Clinic"]

"the ancient art of acupuncture dates back 2000 years to provincial China. By stimulating energy centers in the body called meridians, the life force known as qi is directed into a more balanced flow. When an imbalance or blockage occurs in the body, illness results. By tapping into the natural energy network it is possible to relieve pain, facilitate healing and utilize the body’s inherent healing mechanisms";

Lourie, C. (ND NCNM) states:

[for a bio., click here, ]

[in "Homeopathy"]

"to include both the knowable and the unknowable in our understanding, we speak of the 'vital force', the dynamic energy of the organism that animates everything we call life. It is this vital force which is being stimulated by our homeopathic remedies. Symptoms are a sign of the vital force working to heal. This is a fundamental concept that must be understood by all patients and practitioners of natural therapies. The task of the practitioner is to gather as much information as possible about the totality of symptoms, physical and mental, in order to understand all the ways in which the vital force is already acting";
