#healer

• Unmercenary — A Christian religious term designating a saint (usually a physician or healer, such as Cosmas and Damian or Pantleimon) who practiced their profession or gift of healing completely free of charge, structurally refusing any payment, material reward, or money from patients. As an adjective, it describes a person, deed, or attitude devoid of silver, financially disinterested, acting exclusively out of philanthropy or Christian charity.
• Babareasca — A rare regional term used in certain Romanian rural communities to designate an elderly woman who performs a specific traditional role, such as an empirical midwife, folk healer, or organizer of feminine folkloric rituals. Additionally, the term can be utilized as an archaic form of ethnic or geographical identification, referring to a woman of Bavarian origin or from a specific historical region, phonetically adapted into local dialects.
