What is the Vital Force?
Disease consists of a disruption of the central regulating energies that maintain life. Hahnemann called this regulating energy the “vital force”. Practically ignored by modern science, except under the limited term “immune system”, every other culture’s traditional healing system recognizes such a concept as central to understanding and affecting the health. “Chi” in China, “prana” in India–the life principle that regulates body, mind and spirit does not lend itself easily to technological investigation, but its understanding is the next frontier in medicine. It is the vital force, which a homeopath attempts to reach and stimulate when a homeopathic medicine is administered.
