I can’t grasp the concept of it. And why and how is harnessing it from our bodies help cure diseases?

Not the same kind of plasma. One type is a super heated gas where some kind of magic happens to the atoms (I think it has to do with electrons having enough energy to move around more freely but I really do not understand it that far). The other kind (the one inside of you) is basically the liquid that makes up your blood once you remove the solids.

In your blood you have red blood cells (carry oxygen) platelets (construction workers that repairs damage and prevents you from bleeding out) and white blood cells (kills the bad guys in your body). If you take out all that junk you are left with a liquid thats salty and that contains a bunch of good stuff for you. This is plasma.
