Who are the fire-tamers?

# Summary In Brittany, France, thousands of traditional healers known as "fire-tamers" practice an unregulated, secretive form of folk medicine to treat inflammatory conditions like warts, burns, and eczema through ritualistic hand gestures and whispered incantations. Despite having no official credentials or organization, these practitioners—who work by word-of-mouth and cannot accept payment—reportedly help at least two-thirds of the French population, though their methods remain largely undocumented and scientifically unexplained.
