This ability, a variation of Force healing, known as a Force power, allowed individuals to eliminate diseases from living organisms. Its utilization usually demanded significant focus from the practitioner, often requiring an hour or longer. In some rare instances, individuals would dedicate as much as 20 hours of concentrated effort to eradicate the most stubborn ailments. This power's effectiveness was restricted to mitigating the current and potential future impact of diseases; it did not reverse any damage already inflicted. The Jedi Master Cilghal was a known user of this technique.
