How many sessions are required for an effective healing?

The number of times a person needs to undergo treatment varies. It depends on many factors like severity of the ailment, the age and physical strength of the patient, delicateness of the internal organ being healed etc. It often also depends on the amount of effort the patient is willing to put in. If the patient regularly practises the meditation and/or breathing techniques that are taught to him or her, and also, where required, does some simple exercises and is in control of the diet, recovery is extremely fast; in many cases, almost miraculous.
All too often, however, the patient expects that just visiting a healer once will cure them. This is not necessarily true. If an ailment is severe healing protocol is applied twice or thrice a week for many weeks until there is substantial improvement..
