Faith Healing

Faith healing is the practice of prayer and gestures (such as laying on of hands) that are believed by some to elicit divine intervention in spiritual and physical healing, especially the Christian practice. Believers assert that the healing of disease and disability can be brought about by religious faith through prayer and/or other rituals that, according to adherents, can stimulate a divine presence and power. Belief in such divine intervention is based on religious belief rather than empirical evidence that faith healing achieves an evidence-based outcome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_healing
