Who are some of your favorite deities associated with healing (e.g. mental, emotional, spiritual)?

I know you're not asking for a list, but here's a thread which TONS of healing associated deities are listed: Deities associated with Healing? (http://mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?t=187829)
(I knew it'd come in handy later on)

May not be considering a diety but Buddha has helped me out on occasion. Pretty handy on the topic of karmic stuff the ol Buddha.

Pfft, Takhisis could kick her ass eight ways from Sunday.

I vote for Isis. She is Great of Healing and Magic, you know. Brought Osiris back from the dead on two consecutive occasions, cured Re of a snakebite (admittedly the snakebite was her own doing), healed Horus countless times as a child, all kinds of good stuff.

My favorite is Apollo, closely followed by his son, Aesculapius, and his (half) brother, Mercury.

There is Brighid of course but I also have a soft spot for Airmid.

Ditto! I vote for Isis too. She's my patron goddess. She heals with light.

Though, if you have a close affinity to any of the Sibyls, be careful with Apollo....

Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and protector of doctors, came in mind but i don't work with him. One of these days at the university our teacher talked to us how his priests healed with herbs,sacred snakes that bit the ill person or sacred dogs that licked the wounds.

Other than that i would definately say Brighid with her gentle energy although more on the emotional side.
