Is Homeostasis a New Age Concept?

Question:

Is homeostasis a real thing or is it a new age concept?

Answer:

Homeostasis is a scientific term that refers the ability of organisms to regulate themselves to remain in a constant state.

For example, our bodies naturally try to remain at a temperature of 98.6 degrees. If we overheat our bodies will sweat in an attempt to cool us off. If our bodies feel a drop in temperature our bodies naturally react to conserve heat and prevent heat loss.

It is a scientific term and not a spiritual one.
