Shifa (Healing)

Shifa, meaning healing, refers to the process of restoring health and well-being, whether physically, mentally, or spiritually. It involves the body's natural capacity to recover, along with supportive care, medicine, or spiritual practices that promote recovery. In many traditions, shifa also encompasses a holistic approach, addressing underlying causes and fostering balance within the body and mind. It emphasizes that healing is not just the absence of illness but the revival of vitality, harmony, and inner peace, often viewed as a divine or universal blessing that facilitates wholeness and resilience.
