Chan, S. (ND Bastyr) states:

[in “Therapeutic Services Overview”]

“acupuncture, the ancient Chinese art of healing, originated almost 6000 years ago with written records of its practice dating from about 500 B.C. Its principles are based upon the theory of qi. Qi is the vital energy which pervades and sustains all beings and things manifest and unmanifest in the cosmos of which man is the integral part. Qi circulates throughout the body along a system of intricate pathways called meridians and collaterals. When the qi flows freely and in abundance, we are in the state of health, while lack of qi give rise to disease and even death [...] the purpose of treatment is to help the body to heal itself by stimulating and harmonizing the flow of life force or qi [...] Chinese herbs are a combination of natural plant, animal and mineral substances used to heal and balance the human body, mind and emotions. Herbs can help balance the organ's yin and yang and invigorate the qi [...] naturopathic medicine emphasizes 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”;

Chan, V. (ND CCNM) states:

[in "Frequently Asked Questions"]

"homeopathy is a subtle, yet powerful energetic healing modality which stimulates the body's vital force to improve health. Naturopathic medicine is a coordinated health care approach which uses recognized methods of diagnosis and several gentle and effective therapies - including homeopathy - to treat the causes of disease and support the body's innate healing ability";

Chapek, K. (ND ?), Zent, J. (ND ?) state:

[in "Microcurrent Therapy"]

“the electromagnetic field is very likely the 'vital force' that Hahnemann (the father of homeopathy) referred to [...] if the stimulus is powerful enough to overwhelm the vital force, the electromagnetic field undergoes a greater change in vibrational rate, and effects are eventually felt by the individual. The symptoms of a disease are nothing but reactions trying to rid the organism of earlier disturbances on a dynamic electromagnetic level. (George Vithoulkas 1979)”;

Chapman, C. (ND Bastyr 2006), Jinnah, K. (ND NCNM 1998) state:

[in "The Six Principles of Naturopathic Medicine"]

"1. vis medicatrix naturae – the healing power of nature. The natural tendency of the human system is towards health. Naturopathic medicine is based on the fact that the human body has an innate ability to heal itself. Illness occurs when imbalance exist in the system, be they physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. It is the vital force, the vis, that maintains life and restores health. The physician facilitates this process by identifying and removing all obstacles to cure and the restoration of health";

[in "Acupuncture"]

"acupuncture is an ancient Chinese art of healing, it is a component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is based on the theory of energy. Energy exists in all living organisms and is transferable from one state to another. In Chinese medicine vital energy is called qi (chi). Qi is continually added to the body [...] energy is also being lost continuously [...] energy in and out creates homeostasis. When there is a disturbance we will end up a deficiency or excess of energy. In Chinese medicine vital energy qi is classified into yin and yang. Yang energy is responsible for our active state and yin energy is responsible for our rest state. Qi flows through pathways in the body called meridians or channels. There are 12 channels through which yin and yang energy flow [...] yang energy channels flow from outside to inside and yin energy channels flow from inside to outside";

[in "Naturopathic Treatments"]

"acupuncture and Chinese herbs. 'Chi’ is the life force present in all living organisms that helps maintain health. Acupuncture helps the ‘chi’ move along pathways (also known as meridians) to remove blockages or imbalances of ‘chi’ that result in pain and illness";

Christianson, A. (ND SCNM), Lovick, A. (ND SCNM 2007), Wazny, P. (ND SCNM) state:
.

[in "Healing Power of Cold"]

"this medical modal was 'vitalistic' meaning the doctors healed not by fighting disease but by raising the patients' 'vital force'. It was believed that living things possessed a tangible property separating them from the non-living. This concept was shared by nearly all cultures with developed medical systems. This is exactly what the Chinese called 'chi' and the Yogis called 'prana'";

Churchill, D. (NMD NCNM) states:

[in "Naturopathic Practice Philosophy"]

"as an ND I use the power of nature 'vis medicatrix naturae' to help my patients heal, along with botanicals, homeopathic remedies, hydrotherapy, physical medicine, nutritional medicine, diet counseling, exercise, and sometimes pharmaceuticals if necessary. I use the body’s own healing energy and vital force to help me understand where its dis-ease or disharmony is. Within this paradigm I will use all of your presenting information (symptoms) to guide your body back to health";

[in "Resource Center: Articles - Naturopathic Medicine"]

"the philosophical roots of naturopathic medicine can be traced back to Hippocratic system of vitalism (400 BC). According to the vitalistic system [!], life is viewed as more than just the sum of myriad biochemical processes-- the body is believed to have an innate intelligence that is always striving for health. Vitalism maintains that the symptoms accompanying disease are not directly caused by the morbific agent such as bacteria. Rather, they are the result of the organism's intrinsic response or reaction to the agent and the organism's attempt to defend and heal itself";
