Orthopathy (from the Greek ortho- right- + pathos suffering,) or natural hygiene (NH) is an alternative medicine originating from the nature cure movement. It is a form of vitalism that considers self-healing the best and only cure for disease, and favours fasting as restorative and favours dietary and other lifestyle measures as preventative. There is no scientific or clinical evidence that supports self-healing as a general method for treating severe medical conditions such as cancer, infectious diseases, and cardiovascular disease.
