spontaneous healing

Unexplained bodily restoration

Spontaneous healing is recovery from illness or injury without medical intervention, as if the body simply fixed itself.

The term often appears in discussions of unexplained remissions: The tumor disappeared through what doctors called spontaneous healing.

Alternative medicine communities use it to describe the body's innate capacity to heal when conditions align properly.
