Introduction
After almost 39 years of daily practice of Classical Naturopathy, at the end of 2024 I was given the opportunity to explore Original Hereditary Naturopathy (OHN). I'm no stranger to it, but up until now I've only touched on it in the context of managing the daily lives of members of the Bamiléké community in Cameroon, to which I belong. Despite its systematic demonisation since colonisation, it is a cultural approach that is particularly deeply rooted here, especially with the most visible commitment of the Christian religious system in this direction and the hypocritical fuss of the various official institutions.
We went there to address the remaining concerns of our WELLTITUDE Promoter, whom I've been coaching for her Wellness for over ten years. The priestess then persuaded us to integrate the Original Hereditary Naturopathy approach into our existing service. At the end of March 2025, after six months of initiation, we were equipped for the combined services of the ISIS Priestesses and the HORUS Priests.
It's true that we are talking about a lifelong apprenticeship, but we can already give you the benefit of what we have received, starting with an exploration of what Original Hereditary Naturopathy is.

Beyond the Boundaries of Conventional Medicine, a Relevant Path to Wellness.
For thousands of years, cultures all over the world have developed practices to promote Wellness, rooted in spiritual experience and the wisdom passed down from ancestors. This is Original Hereditary Naturopathy (OHN), where the elements used are transmitted to the naturopath through an initiation carried out by direct contact (dreams, visions, positive hallucinations, both visual and other senses) in connection with the ancestral heritage. Their rituals, visions and other perceptions involve the senses in ways that are difficult for so-called modern scientists to understand, and their solutions are based solely on natural potential, offering a holistic approach that integrates body, mind and environment in a subtle balance.
But how can these practices, often considered mysterious or unquantifiable, coexist with so-called modern science? And what can they teach us about our current understanding of health?
In this series of articles, we explore the foundations and benefits of Original Hereditary Naturopathy (OHN) and discover how it can enrich our quest for global well-being in a world where the boundaries between tradition and innovation are blurring..
We will approach our theme from 5 main angles:
1. Spiritual experiences: Foundations and Concrete Implications
2. Rituals and the living: Bridges between the visible and the invisible
3. Dialogue with science: Complementary or Competition
4. Institutional recognition: How far could it go? Challenges and solutions
5. Extended knowledge: From hereditary to quantum originality
1. Spiritual Experiences: Foundations and Concrete Implications
Immerse yourself in the fascinating reality of initiatory transmission, the beating heart of Original Hereditary Naturopathy. Discover how these extraordinary revelations, far from being mere theories, are deeply rooted in a living ancestral heritage and open the doors to thousands of years of Wellness knowledge that few are privileged to explore. This unique journey will enable you to see health from a perspective that modern science is only beginning to touch..
Defining and validating spiritual experience
Imagine for a moment that what you think of as 'simple intuition' is actually the tip of an immense iceberg of interconnected consciousness. It is into this fascinating realm that we invite you to explore Original Hereditary Naturopathy (OHN).
The spiritual experiences we are talking about are not abstract concepts relegated to the realms of faith or belief - they are tangible, palpable realities that transform mental and physical health in concrete ways. How can we say this with such certainty? Because these phenomena have been experienced, documented and passed on by countless generations across time and cultures. Millions of people, on every continent, in every era, testify to remarkably similar experiences. Can such an ancient cross-cultural consensus really be ignored or dismissed as mere coincidence?
But that's not all! Modern science, in its most daring advances, is beginning to catch up with these ancient wisdoms. Quantum physics is overturning our understanding of reality by revealing the simultaneous existence of parallel worlds that influence each other. Isn't this exactly what the initiated masters have been describing since the beginning of time? This fascinating convergence of cutting-edge discoveries and ancient wisdom is no coincidence - it confirms that our ancestors knew what they were talking about.
When a naturopath who has been initiated into the Original Hereditary Tradition travels between the different realms of existence during a Wellness Coaching session, he or she is not indulging in obscure mysticism - he or she is precisely applying ancient know-how that anticipates our most recent scientific discoveries! This subtle navigation between dimensions, these dialogues with forms of intelligence that elude ordinary perception, is the essence of this extraordinary approach.
Premonitory dreams, clarifying visions and refined sensory perceptions then become what they have always been: not unfounded hallucinations, but genuine instruments of knowledge, privileged gateways to dimensions of reality that our ordinary consciousness cannot grasp. They are the natural interfaces that allow the practitioner to access a reservoir of wisdom for promoting Wellness that transcends the limitations of time and space.
Many people are incapable of dreaming or cannot remember what their consciousness was occupied with during their slumber. This situation, which is not taken into account by the canons of therapy based on so-called modern sciences, is a sign of serious dysfunction for Original Hereditary Naturopathy. According to the latter, the 'conscious/subconscious tandem' is not designed to have moments of undifferentiated floating. According to Tantra Yoga, for example, the conscious mind never allows itself a moment without something to occupy it. How could we not worry about what is going on for as long as the moments of sleep last?
Are you ready to rediscover this fundamental dimension of human existence, this innate but often neglected ability to perceive and interact with the multiple dimensions that make up our reality? Original Hereditary Naturopathy opens up this path for you, combining original wisdom and avant-garde understanding in a harmonious synthesis at the service of integral well-being.
Role in Physical and Mental Wellness
i. Original Hereditary Naturopathy: the synergy between spirituality, the multi-dimensionality of nature and general Wellness
In a world where stress and psychosomatic imbalance are increasingly prevalent, Original Hereditary Naturopathy (OHN) offers a unique path to harmony and vitality. The results of this approach, which promotes access to the knowledge of the original human quest, are now supported by modern scientific discoveries that highlight the essential role of the spiritual dimension of existence and the co-ordinated connection with the many levels of expression of nature in promoting overall health and well-being. This opens up new perspectives for a truly integrative approach to health promotion.
ii. The psychosomatic component: A major public health issue
The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 70-80% of chronic diseases have a significant psychosomatic component. This means that the so-called 'modern' scientific approach recognises that our thoughts, emotions and state of mind directly influence our physical health. The HON originally recognised this fundamental interdependence and has always proposed a holistic approach to health promotion, taking into account all dimensions of the human being.
iii. Physico-psycho-spiritual practices: Concrete levers for existential balance
The OHN is based on physical-psychological-spiritual practices that promote proper coordination between the different levels of existence, such as physical and psychological nutrition,
practices that promote higher quality vibratory levels, and detoxification of the different planes of existence. In particular, it is based on:
- - Correction of consumer habits and "indiscriminate immersion;
- Introduction and practice of detoxification at different levels of existence;
- Introduction to exploring and discovering the Universal Self;
- The introduction and practice of "active invocations" and rituals for the promotion of effective Wellness.
To strengthen resilience in the face of stress and for a serene existence. The implications of scientific studies increasingly demonstrate that these practices can :
- Improve mental health and reduce the incidence of depression, as shown by studies on the benefits of gardening for mental health (Soga, Gaston, & Yamaura, 2017).
- Reduce stress and anxiety, an effect demonstrated by studies on the effects of the forest on health (Kaplan, 1995).
- Strengthen the immune system, linked to exposure to natural environments and stress reduction
iv. Connection with multidimensional nature: A Source of Priceless Benefits
Original Hereditary Naturopathy (OHN) invites us to explore a deeper relationship with nature and our environment. We rediscover fascinating connections between worlds - how colour codes, shapes and activities perceived in our dreams directly influence our everyday physical experience. Even more amazingly, disarmingly simple rituals and gestures produce remarkable results, testifying to the all-too-often overlooked importance of our dream world in our tangible existence.
This approach reminds us of our essential position as "full expression of the whole". We tend to overlook the importance of these elements in our daily lives, as well as our connection to our roots and lineage, which is essential to our balance and well-being. In a world where materialistic and capitalistic perceptions dominate, it's easy to lose sight of this fundamental connection, which Original Hereditary Naturopathy encourages us to re-examine and reconnect with.
v. Introduction to Original Hereditary Naturopathy: A Path of Knowledge and Harmony
The practices of the OHN are in fact transmitted by initiation, a direct connection to the heritage of universal knowledge through particularly extended ancestral links of which we have sometimes been insufficiently aware, and which manifest themselves through dreams, visions and other sensory experiences. These connections provide access to higher levels of understanding and consciousness. This initiation is usually done under the guidance of an 'Elder' coach, not a 'Spiritual Master'. The latter, guided by his or her already established multidimensional connections, draws on his or her personal experience on this path to suggest possible answers to the concerns of the person undergoing initiation. Most revelations and other instructions reach the person directly through the channel of his or her ancestral lineage and the connections he or she is establishing. Generally, the deeper meaning of the messages is already perceived, and in the beginning it is mainly a matter of the guide/coach fostering confidence in this 'innate ability' to understand what is being transmitted.
vi. Towards integrative health promotion: Tradition and Validation of the Modern Scientific Approach
OHN has never been in opposition to conventional medicine, but has established itself as the original point of reference, so impressive are its answers, which have been continuously validated over time. Based on the fundamental interdependence between the physical body, the mental dimension and spiritual experience, OHN offers a framework that is particularly well suited to harnessing these effects and mobilising resources to respond to concerns about wellness that other fragmentary approaches struggle to find.
Conclusion: Calling to Multidimensional Harmony and Vitality
Original Hereditary Naturopathy invites us to rethink our approach to health by integrating spirituality, the multi-dimensionality of existence, the connection to multi-dimensional nature and modern scientific knowledge that is gradually helping us to reconnect with this uninterrupted flow of knowledge. As we explore this path, we are sure to discover essential keys to a more fulfilling life in harmony with our environment.
