Although wind superpowers can easily be used for offense, healing powers persistently show up as a subset of this arsenal. Healing spells that call on the wind are common, and the healer (who is usually a White Mage or a White Magician Girl) can be wind-aligned. This is convenient from a logistics standpoint — because wind is usually long-range, this gives The Medic the ability to heal damage from afar, or treat multiple people at once. Because air and wind are everywhere, however, these magicks are usually practical, but not very powerful, and may pale in comparison to other healing elements like light or water.
This trope's roots are simple: winds are tied to life, both metaphorically and scientifically (because the oxygen in the air around us is necessary for respirationnote although too much oxygen is also bad for your respiratory system. Science!). Breathing in particular is an easy indicator of whether someone is alive or not. Also, there's nothing as calming and soothing as clean air and a fresh breeze, and access to clean air has been proven time and time again to be better for one's health. See Healthy Country Air for more on this idea. Aromatherapy, or soothing scents, can also tie into this.
Subtrope of Blow You Away; contrast its more attack-oriented subtropes like Razor Wind, Wind from Beneath My Wings,
and Breath Weapon. Compare Heal It with Water for another element associated with health and life. See also Kiss of Life, another way to interpret "breath of life", and Winds Are Ghosts, for when the wind is associated with souls.

The Tales Series has this as a recurring ability that has shown up in Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, and Tales of Graces. Generally, the user summons gusts of wind that heal allies in a given area. The Fairy Circle spell as it appears in Abyss takes it a step further by dealing wind damage to anything in the given area after it finishes healing the caster's allies.
Hisui from Tales of Hearts primarily uses Wind magic and is your best healer.

Lyrical Nanoha: "Healing Wind" is literally the name of Shamal's ultimate healing spell in the movie continuity. When Shamal casts it, a small cyclone appears around her that rapidly heals wounds and fatigue of all allies in the area, as well as fixing up their protective spells. Shamal has a lot of other wind- and healing-based spells, to the point that one of her titles is roughly translated as "Healing Hand of the Wind".

Golden Sun:
The Jupiter (wind) djinni Breath is one of the first ones found in both The Lost Age and Dark Dawn, who heals 40% of a character's HP, making the early game easier to survive. Note that this association is absent in Japanese, where its name is Rescue because the healing always occurs at the start of the party's turn.

Homestuck: A variation. John's wind-themed powers don't heal people, but he has used them on several occasions to metaphorically heal planets or the universe. One of his character songs is even entitled "Doctor".
John uses his wind powers to remove a bomb called "The Tumor" from the heart of the planet/cosmic being Skaia.
In John's planet quest, he uses his wind to remove the oil that has been poisoning and choking his planet, returning it to life.
In Act 6 John uses his wind powers to remove JPEG artifacts that have been corrupting the nature of reality and symbolically causing death and tragedy.

Fairy Tail
Wendy Marvell has wind-based Dragon Slayer magic, and specifically has an ability where she manipulates clean air to heal someone's injuries, cure status conditions, or restore stamina. Polluted air hampers this. She's used it to cure Erza of poisoning.
Wendy's opponent-turned-friend Sherria has similar wind-based God Slayer Magic, which also comes with a healing spell. Sherria notably has the ability to self-heal, which Wendy lacks, but in exchange she can't restore stamina.

Gold Digger has a Ki healing skill called "Renewing Breath". It is exactly what it says on the tin — the user focuses his ki on healing while hyperventilating and then a breath that heals them back to top form. Julia Diggers accidentally manages to de-age her body back to its prime (mid-twenties) when she first uses it. Later on it is revealed that the Renewing Breath can be used to revive someone who is recently deceased at a great cost to the people applying it.

In League of Legends, Janna, the Storm's Fury, has an ultimate ability called "Monsoon", where she unleashes a powerful wind current around her that pushes away surrounding enemies and rapidly heals herself and her nearby allies. This mechanic is sort of a blunt and very literal depiction of what she represents in lore — Janna is a benevolent wind elemental revered in Zaun, a city so devastated by pollution that even their clouds are effectively toxic gas. With Janna's presence, she brings with her fresh air, longevity, safety, and overall, life.
