Vitalism is a holistic way of practicing medicine with the understanding that our bodies are vastly intelligent and are moving towards healing utilizing the vital force that lies within us all. Over time, with emotional, spiritual, and environmental influences, our vitality may become decreased as obstacles block the vital force from expressing robustly. Vitalist medicine looks at the whole picture of the human experience - mind, body, and spirit. By reviewing all aspects and energetics of the human body, we can identify common patterns and obstacles-to-cure, thus removing identified obstacles and supporting the increase of vitality through nutrition, lifestyle, herbal medicines, and exploration of consciousness. The idea is to LISTEN to the messages the body is sending and support your body in its extraordinary intelligence of healing, rather than quieting symptoms with pharmaceuticals. One size does not fit all. We all have a unique make-up. An herb or practice that works for one person may not work for another. Similarly to Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, this type of healing takes the individual constitution of each person into consideration when devising a plan.
