Hack, K. (ND CCNM) states:

[in "Forms of Therapy Available at Head to Toe"]
.
“homeopathy is an energetic form of medicine which harnesses the body’s ability to heal itself. This innate healing ability is believed to be a function of the life force, or vital force, inherent in each individual. According the homeopathy, disease is a disturbance of this vital force and the associated symptoms reflect the nature of this disturbance. Homeopathic medicine, then, aims at correcting this disturbance by using minute amounts of natural substances to enable the body to heal itself”;

“naturopathic medicine is a distinctive approach to health and healing that recognizes the integration of the whole person. It is heir to the vitalistic tradition of medicine in the Western world and emphasizes the stimulation, enhancement, and support of the inherent healing power of the body. Therapies are chosen that respect the natural healing process”;

“the practice of naturopathic medicine centers on six principles of healing: 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 naturopathic doctor’s role is to facilitate and augment this process [...] first do no harm – primum no nocere. The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms, which are, in fact, expressions of the life force attempting to heal itself. Therapeutic actions should be complementary to and synergistic with this healing process. One’s actions can support or antagonize the actions of vis medicatrix naturae; therefore, methods designed to suppress symptoms without removing underlying causes are considered harmful and are avoided or minimized”;

Hannaman-Pittman, P.K. (ND Bastyr) states:
.
[in “My Healing Philosophy – Rebalancing the Patient ”]
.
“the role of VNM [sp., VMN] in healing. Naturopathic physicians call our vital force vis medicatrix naturae (VMN) or the 'healing power of nature.' Through our regular connection and communication with the VMN (via prayer, meditation, focusing on love and positive thoughts, eating whole foods, maintaining adequate hydration, rest and sleep, the use of biomagnetics, bioresonance and other physical medicine techniques, homeopathy, herbal medicine, etc.) we can increase and optimize our vibrant energy in all three major aspects, and help ourselves to heal. It is important for the patient to understand just how much control they individually have over their own health and wellness. The physician or healer acts as a catalyst or prompter in this process. The natural therapeutics that I use in this process are in accordance with the Principles of Naturopathic Medicine ['ND sectarian creed'] and according to the Hierarchy of Therapeutics [ND sectarian 'therapeutic order']. Some patients may turn down the opportunity to use their full power to heal and improve health. This may often be because physical disease affects the mind and spirit in a such a way that spiritual communication with the VMN is broken. Secondary gains for experiencing illness (imbalance) may also be present (avoidance, attention, etc.). It is also possible that 'life lessons' and/or 'karma' may also be at work, thus delaying healing. Real healing requires communication with the VNM [sp., VMN], which has no limitations. It is possible to create matter where none existed before, to reconnect biological and biochemical pathways or balance the entire system for better health. Matter is also transmutational (changed from one form to another). By connecting with VMN (as creative source/god), we can create and remain in the healing energy of love and peace (higher vibrant energy) anytime we wish. When communication with VMN is clear and the timing is right, healing can occur and health can improve. My blessing and privilege as a naturopathic physician is to help the patient to learn how to best optimize their own interaction with VMN”;
