Dynamical, Dynamicus, (F.) Dynamique. Same etymon. In Mechanics, Dynamics investigates the powers whereby bodies are put in motion, and the laws connected there with. In Biology, that which relates to the vital forces, to the organism in action. Vital Dynamics.

In this sense, it is a favorite term with the homoeopathists, who maintain that, by certain processes, called, in the aggregate, dynamization and potentizing, the dynamic powers of medicine may be set free and developed -as by shaking the bottle in which the article is contained, or by mixing an unlimited number of unmedicated globules with one that is medicated, and shaking them together. In this way, the former become potentized!
