The answer

It is to learn the Shar'iyyah (Islamic incantation) to benefit Muslims and cure illnesses, for theabahook of Allah is a healing. It is not permissible for a male raqi (one who performs Ruqyah) to touch a woman's body or for her to uncover any part of her skin; rather, he should recite over her while she is veiled. It is also sunnah for women to learn Ruqyah so they can treat other women with it.
