National University of Health Sciences states:

[in "Naturopathic Chronicles: 'Science and Belief'"]

"this weekend I was reviewing my notes for a class today on the concept of 'vitalism' [...] a topic that I have taught before [...] vitalism is a concept sometimes [!] ascribed to complementary and alternative medicine, or natural medicine, or holistic medicine [...] naturopathic medicine incorporates many of these practices within a practice framework guided by principles [central to those principles is vitalism]";

[in "Acupuncture"]

"the vital energy on which acupuncture principles are based is called qi [...] qi circulates in the body along channels called meridians. Acupuncture therapy, a procedure that places thin, sterile needles into specific points along the meridians, helps regulate the body's natural energy flow. This therapy alleviates energy blockages and allows the body to regain a state of balance. When qi is strong and flowing as it should, physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being flourish. Achieving this balance and harmony within the body is the main goal of the acupuncturist or oriental medical physician";

[in "Reflexology"]

"in reflexology, it is believed that there is a 'vital energy' that is circulating between organs of the human body, which penetrates into every living cell. Whenever this energy is blocked, the zone of blockage will be affected. The reflex zones can reflect the blockage of energy in different organs. Therefore, if someone has a problem in a particular organ, when a therapist presses on the corresponding reflex zone or zones, the person will experience pain";
