The vital force in homeopathy deserves a description that differentiates the practice from other methods of treatment. the vital force is defined as the immaterial, spirit-like energy that animates the human body. Coined by founder Samuel Hahnemann, it is considered the intelligent force responsible for maintaining homeostasis, coordinating bodily functions, and orchestrating natural healing.there are a few principles of the vital force: health and harmony, disease as imbalance, symptoms are a manifestation of the body’s attempts to heal itself, and the theory is then that the homeopathic remedies are so highly potentized and diluted that they prompt the body to act on an energetic level to heal itself.
