A hedge wizard is a Westerosi local or traveling herb-doctor, who also likely uses traditional healing, spells and charms to heal the sick or help the needy.
Like hedge knights, they are probably quite poor and sleep in hedges on occasion. They are probably most popular amongst the smallfolk, as they are likely to be more affordable and accessible. Nobles probably do not employ the services of hedge wizards, or if they do, they do so clandestinely.
