恢復完整／變回健全
兩個意思都是同一個核心：破損的重新變回完整。差別只在於『是誰讓它變完整』——是外力去療癒，還是身體自己慢慢復原。
natural/spiritual cure · noun · B2
The act of making a sick person well again by using natural power or prayer instead of medicine.

核心畫面
You can picture healing as something torn or broken slowly closing back into one whole piece — a wound shut, a sick or body back to soundness. The word holds that image of going from 'broken / not right' back to 'whole and well'.

可以想成一個原本破損、受傷的東西，慢慢重新長回完整：傷口一點一點癒合，虛弱的身體一點一點恢復成原本健全的樣子。healing 抓的就是這種『從破損、不對勁，重新變回一個完整、無損的整體』的畫面。From the word’s history
Heal comes from Old English hælan 'to make whole, sound and well', from hāl 'whole' — the very same root behind whole, hale, and even holy. So to heal is literally to make something whole again, which is exactly the core image.
heal 源自古英語 hælan『使完整、使健全』，來自 hāl『完整的』——這也正是 whole（整體）、hale（硬朗）、holy（神聖）背後的同源根。所以 heal 字面上就是『讓某個東西重新變回完整』，恰好對上這個核心畫面。
