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 and favours fasting as restorative and favours dietary and other lifestyle measures as preventative. Natural Hygiene is often confused with naturopathy, though they differ by philosophical definition and practice.

  • 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 and favours fasting as restorative and favours dietary and other lifestyle measures as preventative. Natural Hygiene is often confused with naturopathy, though they differ by philosophical definition and practice. Orthopathy is generally against medical treatment, with the exception of surgery in certain situations, such as for broken bones and to "remove a deadly secondary cause."
