• SynonymひとりでにNeutralNeutral. For things that happen on their own with no outside force, as in 「ドアが独りでに開く」 or 「傷が独りでに治る」; 「自ずから」 instead suggests what is naturally so as a matter of course.
• Synonym自ずとおのずとNeutralNeutral. Synonymous with 「自ずから」 but more common, as in 「答えは自ずと分かる」.

For 'naturally, as a matter of course', use 「自ずから」, as in 「自ずから明らかになる」; it has a slightly stiff feel. 「自ずと」 means the same and is more common. For something happening on its own with no one making it happen, use 「独りでに」.
