Faith healers are individuals who claim to have the ability to heal physical or emotional ailments through spiritual means, often invoking divine intervention. They may use prayer, laying on of hands, or other rituals to facilitate healing. Many faith healers are associated with specific religious groups or movements, such as Christianity or New Age spirituality. The practice of faith healing has a long history and is found in various cultures around the world. While some people report experiencing improvements in their health after faith healing sessions, scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of these practices is limited. Critics often raise concerns about the potential risks of relying solely on faith healing instead of conventional medical treatment.
