喜樂美語
  1. 1有療效的；能治病的（較書面；當名詞時可指治療劑）

    If something is curative, it can heal illness, or it is meant to. Doctors and medicine writers like the word; at the kitchen table people more often say it helps you get better, or it is a treatment. You can also use it as a noun: a curative, meaning a medicine aimed at healing, not only at easing pain. Though actually the adjective sounds tidier than life: many things called curative only help a little, or only one kind of sickness. It is a serious, slightly formal word. You would not call a nap curative unless you were being gentle and a bit poetic.
