Healing

Healing was the restoration of health through the process of recovering from an injury or other medical condition by a patient. Self-healing was the same process but directed by the patient. Healing power and recuperative power were abilities which helped one heal. The healing of physical injuries was typically administered by a medical practitioner such as a doctor, healer, or nurse, while mental health issues typically involved a therapist, counselor, psychiatrist, or psychologist.
Self-induced hypnosis was a Vulcan form of self-healing that required great concentration. ()
