Natural Hygiene

Natural Hygiene is a branch of alternative medicine that claims to provide "all the life requirements brought to bear upon the living organism in due proportion and according to need" of human beings for preservation and restoration of health (see Shelton 1968 Chapter X). It claims that the human body is a self-maintaining and self-healing system who's natural lifespan is between 120 to 150 years old.

It advocates the utilization of the human body's own healing power to overcome disease, while at the same time removing the causes of disease. Its primary underlying theory is that the human body can and will heal-itself if the causes of disease are removed. However, it does acknowledge that this concept is not helpful for some conditions, such as diabetes and others. For chronic conditions and serious diseases, it recommends being under the supervision of a professional practitioner.
