Faith Healer
Faith healing, or divine healing, is the use of spiritual means in treating disease, sometimes accompanied (in extreme instances) with the refusal of modern medical techniques. Another term for this is spiritual healing. Faith healing is a form of alternative medicine.
Faith healers are people who purport to use divine power to heal the sick and infirmed. Sam and Dean Winchester have not met any true faith healers, and Lucifer has revealed that all faith healers are fakes. It is likely humans lack the capacity to heal.
Episodes
1.12 Faith
Desperate to save Dean after an accident leaves him with a damaged heart and weeks to live, Sam takes a skeptical Dean to visit Roy Le Grange. Soon after Dean is healed, the brothers discover that he is getting his healing powers from a reaper that is being controlled by La Grange's wife, Sue-Ann, who uses the reaper to kill people she deems unworthy and transfer their life to the "faithful." Upon Sam destroying the Coptic cross Sue-Ann used to control the reaper, the Reaper turns his attention to Sue-Ann and kills her, causing Roy to no longer be able to heal the sick.
10.20 Angel Heart
Ronnie Cartwright reveals to Dean and Castiel that he used to work for a faith healer named Peter Holloway, who healed his blindness. As payment he would recruit "candidates" for him to "heal."
The Winchesters and Castiel soon learn that "Peter Holloway" was in fact a Grigori by the name of Tamiel, who would take people who were looking to get healed and slowly consume their souls until they died.
