The Source Of Healing

 ויקרא י"ד:ג'

וְיָצָא֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן אֶל־מִח֖וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה וְרָאָה֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְהִנֵּ֛ה נִרְפָּ֥א נֶֽגַע־הַצָּרַ֖עַת מִן־הַצָּרֽוּעַ׃

And the Kohen shall go forth out of the camp. The Kohen shall examine him, and behold, if the plague of tzara'as is healed in the person afflicted with tzara'as.


Of COURSE the נגע is healed in the צרוע!! Who else is it healed from - his Tante Raizel?? It is he who is afflicted and thus it is he who is healed?!! Why the words "מן הצרוע"?!!!

צרעת is a spiritual affliction that expresses itself physically. If one wants refuah it has to come from WITHIN. No - Tante Raizel can't change you, nor can your Rebbi, your parents, your wife, your therapist, someone who promises to change you if you register for their webinar [even Tony Robbins!!] or anyone else. Others can HELP but the real work is internal. So indeed, the refuah is "מן הצרוע" and from no one else.
