This work has as object the trajectories of Hippocratic medicine in the Western medical thought. Through literature review of texts and documents aimed to understand how the concepts of life and the health-disease process starting from the same root, they were defining themselves in medical systems based on different paradigms. For this purpose, initially sought to survey and analyze the birth and development of Hippocratic medicine, with emphasis on his method of clinical observation and its therapeutic proposal. Then the analysis of history and dimensions of medical homeopathy and biomedicine rationality was carried out to evaluate the role of the concepts of physis, life and medicatrix vis naturae in each paradigm. In the approach of those concepts, Canguilhem and Jacob were the main theoretical support. Conclusions: For homeopathic medicine, as to Hippocratic medicine and healing the sick are equilibrium and disequilibrium that are part of the human life process and therefore also considered unique and individual. Hahnemann created one based on the recognition of the sick person as a unique, singular individual, endowed with self - sustaining and self - restorative and capacity, taking into account the idea of nature that manifests in every moment plural singularities and therefore the prescription is individualized drug therapy and mobilizing the medicatrix vis naturae. The homeopathic rationality shares the Hippocratic concepts both in their doctrine and in their diagnostic and therapeutic systems. Although biomedicine have their bases in the Hippocratic medicine , to become a "science of disease ", no longer shared the Hippocratic concepts that allow an approach of positive health and therapeutic approach based on the individual as a unique being . Homeopathy asserts a medicine that has as its central category of the category paradigm health and not disease, considered phenomena of life. Life thus valued, would stand in the way of "Big Health", stating in his creative and capable potential "transmute values."
