To quote READING RAINBOW, "its in a book". Aragorn is called the healing king, or the healer. I can't seem to recall which one. They might bring that up in the next movie. Or they might cut it because a small 12 second dialogue or monologue could potentially take up too much room and they want to cram down our bruised esophoges as much fighting action and excitement as they can get into ROTK.

"The hands of a king are the hands of a healer" (or something very similar.) That's the quote that's used. Aragorn is an excellent healer, excelled only by the Elves, namely Elrond, and... (spoilers)
*SPOILERS*
heals Faramir, Eowyn, and Merry, and saves their lives.
*END SPOILERS*
Well it does contain death, in some way.
Of course not only elves can heal... that's stupid. But they're the best healers.
If men couldnt heal, how could they ever open the Houses Of Healing?!?
But Aragorn (who knows a lot about plants and herbs and stuff, like Asea Aranion aso.) is quite good, he does have some skill.
And don't forget he is related to Elrond and grew up in Elrond's house of course he learned something about healing there.

oh god Blah blah blah..........read the goddamn book pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
there is a verse in the book that EXPLAINS IT all
"Athelas verse"
When the black breath blows
and the death's shadow grows
and all lights pass,
come athelas! come athelas!
Life to the dying
In the king's hand lying
AND while in the house of healing an OLD WOMAN (Ioreth) had said: The hands of the king are the hands of a healer, and so shall the rightful king be known
so it really really fits that Aragorn uses Athelas leaves to heal......and he DOES heal
ALL HAIL THE KING!!!!

If the books are too hard for you to read then you probably aren't old enough to watch the movie anyway.
It's these kinds of questions that made me stop coming to this forum.
