Healing Magic

I am curious to explore, in advance, the ramifications of declaring that, in
my game, Healing Magic must be accomplished by use of Ritual Magic spells.
I believe that Greg sed that Glorantha(c) has far less immediate access to
healing magic than is portrayed by RuneQuest(c) Battle/Spirit Magic.
Wouldn't ritualization of healing magic be a step toward that direction?

The likely delay to start rituals (until after melee has ended) and the
length of time required, as well as the need for a successful ritual skill

should reasonably put some limits onto magical healing.

Am I forgetting some important myths or legends which require immediate
access to healing magic?

Why weren't the proprietors of Gimpy's healed?
