Homonym: cures (Healing)
A "cure" refers to a treatment that completely eliminates a disease or condition, restoring a person to health. Cures can involve medications, surgeries, or therapies that target the underlying causes of an illness. For example, antibiotics can cure bacterial infections by killing the bacteria responsible for the illness.
In contrast to cures, some treatments may only manage symptoms without eradicating the disease. Chronic conditions like diabetes or asthma often require ongoing management rather than a definitive cure. Research continues in fields like medicine and pharmacology to discover new cures for various diseases.
