What is the difference between curing & healing?

The term cure,  from the Latin “curare“ means to take care.  The term “cure” emphasizes what can be done to help the patient from the outside to eliminate disease.  When trying to cure, the practitioner has the active role whereas the patient has a passive role

The term healing from the old English haelan and old German heilen which means to make whole and restore health.  In Spanish, the word for heal is “sanar” that comes from the Latin “sanare” which means to find or restore health.  The term  “healing” emphasizes what the patient can do to restore his inner balance in order to improve his quality of life and well-being status.  When trying to heal the patient has an active and protagonic role, while the practitioner has a supportive and guidance role.
