miraculous cures
Inexplicable medical recoveries
Miraculous cures are healings attributed to divine intervention or supernatural forces rather than medicine.
The phrase appears in religious contexts—saints credited with miraculous cures, pilgrims seeking them at shrines—and skeptically, to dismiss claims of recovery that lack scientific explanation: The faith healer promised miraculous cures for a price.
