Vitalism isn’t a single idea. Aristoles get’s labeled as a Vitalist but he didn’t consider the vital force to be a prime element the way people in the 18th century did. He instead had the theory of the four bodily humors.
Homeopathy that is supposed to strengthen the vital force is less harmful than draining blood from people during a cold as the four bodily humor theory predicted.
If you say the theory of the existance of a vital force lead to harmful treatments and there treatments that you mean that aren’t based on humorism?
