Its life that can control so much. A dead body just goes on decaying without recovery. That’s called catabolism(breakng down). But when a person is alive, the catabolism is accompanied by anabolism(building up), and makes it possible for life to sustain. A living entity can create complicated substances required by its body from basic substances.

For instance, neither the soil, nor the air, nor the water has citric acid. But an orange tree takes in water from the soil, carbon dioxide from the air, and energy from sun, and can create the citric acid available in orange. But a dead tree can’t do that, probably because its lacking that “spark of life”.

Similarly, this life spark should be able to create the most appropriate “medicine” required by our body if the raw materials(food, water, oxygen, sunlight) are available. And since this life spark(the conscious entity) interacts with the body through the mind/brain, a healthy body coexists with a healthy mind. Maybe thats how things like hypnosis, meditation, mantra healing, etc works to restore psychosomatic disorders.
