healing miracles
Supernatural bodily restoration
Healing miracles are supernatural cures attributed to divine intervention rather than medicine or natural recovery.
The term appears in religious contexts—biblical accounts of Jesus restoring sight to the blind, faith healers claiming to cure cancer through prayer.
She believed her remission was a healing miracle.
