Witch doctor

Two Lassa witch doctors in Nigeria

A witch doctor (also spelled witch-doctor) was originally a type of healer who treated ailments believed to be caused by witchcraft.[1] The term is now more commonly used to refer to healers, particularly in regions which use traditional healing rather than contemporary medicine.
