Resistance power is the power of living organism that protects them from harmful effects and facilitates the essential, useful effects of the universe. This resistance power is known by different names by the different groups of people. Modern medical science calls it resistance power of living organism, whereas homoeopathic physician names it as a vital force and some others also know it as ‘pran vayu’.

This resistance power keeps our body alive by protecting it from disease-producing elements and facilitating healthiness.

For example, during intense bright light from the sun, this resistance power of the human body produces darkness of the colour of the skin and perspiration which protect our body from extra heat and light which is harmful. But when there is deficiency of sunlight, this resistance power makes the colour of the skin lighter so that maximum heat and light may be absorbed by the body.

When, by mistake, we take poisonous substances with food stuff, this resistance power causes diarrhoea and vomiting thus automatically expelling the poisonous substances to save the body.

Whenever there is deficiency of water in the body and food stuff in the stomach we automatically feel thirsty and hungry.

This resistance power causes blister (i.e. accumulation of water under the skin) to protect the internal part of body in case of burn.

During dehydration this power keeps the functions of the kidney slow to diminish water filtration and facilitate the retention of water in the body. Now, we can reach to a conclusion that, if we wish to lead a healthy and comfortable life, we must try to strengthen our resistance power.

But, unfortunately, these days unnatural conditions arising with the progress of so called civilization and amazing advancement of the scientific knowledge of modern times, are the normal parts of our lives.

The air, water and soil are all polluted due to atomic explosions, exhaust gases and factory waste.

The plants and trees might have been helpful to combat against air pollution to some extent but they are being mercilessly destroyed to create space for erecting multistoried building and factory houses.

The fruits and vegetables have also been made harmful by chemical fertilizers, germicides, artificial colouring and unnatural preservatives. These are all adversely affecting the vital force or resistance power of human beings, which is the governor of all vital operations of living organisms. So we can easily figure miserable plight in store for the near future.

To keep our resistance power or vital force stronger, we should adopt the following measures :

1. To remove pollution from air, water and soil, the public should be educated properly and adequate legislative and administrative steps should be taken in states, countries and even at international level.

2. To prevent adulteration and pollution of food stuff, all artificial colouring, synthetic products, chemical manures and germicides, hormone treatment of fish and animal which we consume as food etc. should be totally stopped.

3. We should impart and enforce necessary education to the public as towards the real hygienic and healthy mode of life.
