Self-healing
Self-healing
Self-healing (/sɛlfˈhiːlɪŋ/), from the Latin sui (self) and sanare (to heal), refers to the process by which a body or system recovers from damage or trauma on its own, without external intervention.
Overview
In a medical context, self-healing can refer to the natural recovery processes of the human body, such as the healing of a wound or the regeneration of tissue. This can include everything from the clotting of blood to prevent excessive bleeding, to the repair of damaged DNA in cells.
In a broader context, self-healing can also refer to psychological or spiritual healing processes, where individuals recover from emotional or mental trauma through their own efforts, often with the aid of techniques such as meditation or mindfulness.
