Usage Note

Curación refers to the process or act of healing, whether medical (curación de una herida = wound healing) or metaphorical (curación del alma = healing of the soul). In digital media, curación de contenidos (content curation) is a direct calque from English. Do not confuse with cura (a priest or a simple cure/dressing) which is a shorter, more informal form.
