This presentation is partly based to my master’s thesis that considers folk healing as a recognized part of Finnish cultural heritage living in modern times, as a work and as a professional identity. The research is limited to folk healing in Finland, healing methods guided by Finnish traditions. In folk medicine, healing capital is defined as the healer's abilities and their verification, the healer's reliability, and the approval received from the community. Healing capital also involves the healer's knowhow and experience. The essential difference compared to traditional healers is the degree required to obtain new professional titles. Degree titles show their historical background, and the traditional- prefix refers to historical titles and the continuity of the profession. Three core themes were identified from representation of folk healer’s professions: tradition, touch, and nature.
