means A system of alternative medicine that favors the body's own healing ability, using things like herbs, diet, and lifestyle changes instead of drugs or surgery.

from A 19th-into-20th-century coinage built from Latin 'natura' (nature) and Greek 'pathos' (suffering) — the same '-pathy' that shows up in homeopathy and osteopathy. The term was popularized in the United States around the turn of the 20th century, explicitly framed as a 'nature cure' alternative to the increasingly drug- and surgery-focused mainstream medicine of the era.
