Healing has two unrelated meanings.

[edit] In medicine

In medicine, healing is the restoration of structure and function of injured or diseased tissues. Recognised healing processes include blood clotting, tissue mending, scarring, and bone healing.

[edit] In woo

In the field of alternative medicine, healing is used for the objectively unverifiable magical restoration of wellness for which the woomeister wishes to claim credit.
