Healer refers to a person that heals or attempts to heal, especially a faith healer. A Healer is a practitioner of alternative health practices who works with, rather than against, the natural recuperative self -healing properties of the body. Healers are said to heal because all healing comes from within the body. Healers heal the body by applying treatment from without the body.
