Folk healer

Hey there kiddo!

Do you know what a healer is? A healer is someone who helps people feel better when they are sick or hurt. And do you know what a folk healer is? Well, let me explain it to you like you're five years old!

A folk healer is someone who uses traditional knowledge, often passed down from their ancestors, to help heal people in their community. They might use things like herbs, special prayers, or even rituals to help someone feel better.

These healers don't usually go to school to learn how to do this - they learn from their family or community members who have been doing it for a long time. They also don't usually charge money for their services, because they believe that helping others is a way of giving back to their community.

Folk healing is often used in cultures where going to a doctor or hospital might not be an option, or where people might not have access to modern medicine. It's a way of taking care of yourself and your community using the resources you have available.

So that's what a folk healer is, little one! A special person who helps people feel better in their community, using traditional knowledge passed down through generations.
