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.
