Vital Force


"In the healthy condition of man the spirit-like vital force, the dynamis that animates the material body, rules with unbounded sway and retains all the parts of the organism in admirable harmonious vital operation as regards both sensations and functions, so that our indwelling, reason-gifted mind can freely employ this living, healthy instrument for the higher purpose of our existence".

This was the first description made in respect of Vital Force for application in the medical field, by Dr. Hahnemann in his Organon of Medicine.

Life is composed of three parts the body, mind and the spirit. This trinity is present in all forms of life, and each component is interdependent. The spirit is nothing but the Vital Force. It exists right from the fusion of two parent cells. It is the energy which dominates every part of the body and develops them.Without this vital energy the body becomes inanimate and dies. It is only because of presence of Vital Force that the living organism is capable of physical action.The material body derives all sensations and performs all functions in a harmonious way only by means of dynamic Vital Force. In its absence the body ceases to exist and looses all sensation, functions and self protection and ultimately dies.

The energy of the Vital Force is dynamic in nature. Any disturbance of this flow of energy in the body results in morbid development and functions, resulting in disease condition. This distrubance may be in the form of sudden fright, excessive worry, or heriditary stigma miasms from parent cells. Appearance of any morbid phenomena is the expression of inner derangement of Vital Force. Its disturbed harmony is shown through out ward manifestations in the form of symptoms. Disease is nothing but the abnormal functions and sensations which are the outward manifestations of the disturbed Vital Force. Vital Force can in no other way express its disturbance, other than through morbid symptoms. And only on these morbid symptoms should the physician depend for the selection of the similimum for bringing about the process of cure.
