Ang mga tradisyonal na manggagamot sa Pilipinas karaniwang natututo ng kanilang kasanayan sa pamamagitan ng kombinasyon ng pagiging apprentice, oral na tradisyon, at personal na mga espirituwal na karanasan. Karaniwang ipinapasa ang kaalaman sa paggaling sa pamamagitan ng mga pamilya o komunidad, kung saan ang mga master healer ay nagtuturo sa napiling mga apprentice gamit ang kanilang kaalaman. Bukod sa pagtitiyak ng maraming mga tagubilin, pagmamasid, at praktikal na karanasan, kinakailangan din ang pagmemorize ng mga awit at panalanging panggaling pati na rin ang pagkilala at paggamit ng mga halamang gamot. Dagdag pa rito, maraming folk healer ang nag-aangkin na kanilang natamo ang kanilang kasanayan sa pamamagitan ng mga pangitain, panaginip, o pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga espiritu ng mga ninuno, itinuturing ang kanilang kakayahan bilang tawag ng espiritu o divine intervention. Ang holistikong pamamaraan sa pag-aaral ng tradisyonal na medisina ay nagbibigay-diin sa ugnayan ng likas, espirituwal, at pisikal na mga bahagi sa mga pamamaraan ng paggaling sa Filipino folk healing.
