Medical treatment sessions
Healing services are religious or spiritual gatherings focused on prayer, ritual, or faith-based practices intended to cure illness or restore well-being.
The term appears most often in charismatic Christian contexts, where participants may seek divine intervention for physical or emotional ailments: The church offers healing services every Wednesday evening.
The phrase also covers alternative or New Age practices like energy work or laying on of hands.
