"homeopathic remedies are minute dilutions of plant, animal and mineral substances designed to stimulate the body’s 'vital force' and strengthen its innate ability to heal. Physics states that everything on this planet, including you and I, are made up of energy, not matter, with our own unique vibrations, or frequencies. Homeopathic medicines can change our state of health by serving to change our vibrational state [...] based on balancing the flow of chi (energy) through meridian pathways under the skin, Oriental medicine includes the use of Oriental herbs, acupuncture and cupping to regulate and release chi in order to bring the body into balance. Acupuncture is also very effectively used in musculoskeletal disorders or injuries, to relieve muscle tension or soreness, and improve recovery from injury";

[in "Constitutional Hydrotherapy [...]"]

"[by Letitia M. Watrous, ND] constitutional hydrotherapy, a modern addition to traditional nature cure, supports the first tenet of naturopathic medicine: vis medicatrix naturae, the healing power of nature. Acute and chronic case histories are discussed In relation to the model of healing, giving an idea of what can be accomplished when allowing an individual’s 'vital force' to heal disease [...] Constantine Herring, a pioneer of homeopathy, said a re-creation of a previous illness will arise to be totally healed by the vital force, allowing the body to return to homeostasis or health [...] the results obtained are always dependent upon a number of factors: the patient’s vital force (the body’s innate ability to heal itself) [...] the vital force was then able to promote healing in the joint tissue";

Caplan, D. (ND NCNM) states:

[in "Therapies"]

"naturopathic medicine […] in addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, natural childbirth, classical Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulative therapy, pharmacology and minor surgery. Acupuncture: the vital energy (qi) of the body flows in specific pathways. To be in a healthy state, the body's energy must be flowing smoothly and it must be sufficient in amount. Very fine, sterile, stainless steel needles inserted at specific points affect the flow of qi along these meridians. Acupuncture helps overcome illness by allowing the qi to move naturally […] qi gong is translated as ‘energy work’ or ‘energy cultivation’. Practicing qi gong develops the skill of attracting vital energy […] acupressure this therapy uses finger pressure instead of needles. The body's energy, or chi is balanced and blockages cleared to promote wellness and health";

Capsey, A.D. (ND Bastyr 2002), Rogers, T.M. (ND Bastyr 2002) state:

[in “The Seven Principles of Naturopathic Medicine”]

“the hierarchy of therapeutics is the philosophy of using medicines with the least force necessary to bring about a long lasting, non-suppressive therapeutic effect in someone who is sick. This is a very rational, decision making process for the physician based on knowledge, experience and good intuitive sense into a patient’s vital force and the seriousness of the illness”;

[in “Homeopathy”]

“homeopathy […] works by improving the healing force, each person’s innate power to heal […] constitutional remedies are given by skilled homeopaths who assess a person on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual […] a constitutional remedy can be a profound tool in improving one’s health and vitality. Like a lever or a tip-rudder, a small homeopathic intervention can move a large mass or change the course of a large vessel. When chosen successfully, a person’s constitutional remedy can be used any time they need to strengthen their vital force”;

"Dr. Ken Carlin, an naturopathic doctor who practices in Langley, also believes that the intake of healthy animal and plant products is essential to health. 'The quality of the vital/life force in plants and animals will determine the quality of nourishment we receive from them,' he said.

[in "Naturopathic Philosophy"]

“naturopathic philosophy is based on 6 main principles: 1. first do no harm: The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms which are in fact an expression of the life force attempting to heal itself.

[in "Traditional Acupuncture"]

"acupuncture is based on the concept of energetic balance. Energy is thought to run smoothly through channels or meridians in a healthy individual. When there is an energetic imbalance, illness often ensues. Treatments are based on assessing the flow and distribution of this vital energy within its pathways, and influencing health and sickness by stimulating certain areas along these meridians [...] when the acupuncture needle contacts the energy channel at specific points on the body the sensation is felt as a mild to moderate dull aching sensation or a tingling sensation";
