Healing has two unrelated meanings.

In medicine[edit]

In medicine, healing is the restoration of structure and function of injured or diseased tissues.^[1] Recognised healing processes include blood clotting, tissue mending, scarring, and bone healing.

In woo[edit]

In the field of alternative medicine, the definition of healing is expanded beyond the medical one to also include making you feel more energetic, increased wellness, or any other placebo-based outcome that the alternative medicine practitioner can take credit for.

Examples of woo "healing" which, when listed, sound like a bad Osmonds-style family woo-pop band:

• Crystal healing
• Energy healing
• Faith healing
• Pranic healing
• Sound healing
• Quantum healing
• Theta healing
