When a person believes they will be healed, sometimes that is enough to heal them. I would put a lot of the traditional, meaning rituals, etc., healing into a similar category as well as anecdotal, and even pseudo treatments. I think that these types of healing practices have a place when one believes strongly that they will help. I also feel that a good evidence-based type of healing is good knowledge to have as well, especially when treating someone who does not have a belief in the other practices mentioned. Although, I believe that regardless of type of treatment, there must be a "faith" of some sort in order to consent to use that type of healing. Evidence-based medicinal practice isn't just found in synthetic drugs and unnatural treatments, even in herbalism there is plenty of evidence of the healing powers they posses.
