let nature take her course
Allow natural outcomes
To let nature take her course is to allow events to unfold without intervention, trusting that natural processes will resolve a situation.
The phrase often appears in medical contexts—declining aggressive treatment for a terminal illness—or when someone decides not to interfere with a relationship or conflict: We've done what we can; now we just have to let nature take her course.
