A medical intuitive is a person who claims to have the ability to perceive information about a person’s physical and emotional health using extrasensory perception (ESP) or intuitive abilities. Unlike traditional medical practitioners, medical intuitives do not rely on physical examinations, diagnostic tests, or medical equipment. Instead, they say they can “scan” the body energetically to identify imbalances, illnesses, or underlying health issues that may not be immediately apparent through conventional means.
Medical intuitives may describe themselves as psychics, healers, or energy practitioners, and they often incorporate practices from holistic and alternative medicine. Some claim to receive insights about a person’s health through visions, impressions, or by sensing energy fields. These insights might cover physical ailments, emotional blockages, or spiritual issues that could be affecting a person’s well-being.
While the practice of medical intuition is not recognized or validated by mainstream medical science, many individuals who seek out medical intuitives report feeling that the insights they receive have helped them understand their health concerns better. Medical intuitives might offer guidance on lifestyle changes, diet, or alternative therapies that could support overall wellness.
Prominent figures, such as Caroline Myss, have popularized the concept of medical intuition, claiming that health issues are often linked to emotional and spiritual imbalances. Critics, however, caution that medical intuition should not replace professional medical advice and that individuals should approach it as a complementary practice rather than a substitute for traditional healthcare
