divine healer

Godly cure-giver

A divine healer is someone believed to cure illness or injury through supernatural or spiritual power rather than medicine.

The term usually implies healing channeled from God or a higher power: The tent revival featured a divine healer who laid hands on the sick.

Divine healers appear across religious traditions, from faith healers at evangelical services to saints credited with miraculous cures.
