Usage Note
Guérir can be used transitively (guérir quelqu'un = 'to cure someone') or intransitively (il a guéri = 'he recovered'). The noun is la guérison (recovery, healing). Do not confuse with soigner (to treat or care for) — a doctor soigne a patient; the patient guérit afterward.
Examples
"Elle a guéri en deux semaines."
Natural Translation
