divine healing
God-granted medical restoration
Divine healing is recovery from illness or injury attributed to supernatural intervention rather than medical treatment.
The term appears primarily in religious contexts where prayer, faith, or ritual supposedly brings about physical restoration: She testified to her divine healing at the revival.
Believers may seek divine healing through laying on of hands, anointed objects, or pilgrimage to sacred sites.
