Healing is related to getting to the root of a problem and restoring it to a normal state. Curing is what is done to remove the problem, which in certain cases needn't be the cause of the problem. In case of medical conditions it is suggested that we do not stop our medications (if any), instead use healing as a complementary process to recover faster and more comfortably or at least reduce pain/problems involved due to the illness.

You relax, fully dressed, seated or lying down comfortably while the healer holds his/her hands on the region where the healing is needed or above you. A treatment can last from a few minutes to an hour or longer depending on the treatment required. Physical pressure is not applied on the body which makes it ideal for treating all ages and conditions. Healing can also be done without the use of hands in cases on non physical healing.
