Gydymu

Gydymu is a Welsh term that denotes healing or the act of making someone well. It can refer to the process of recovery after illness, the effect of treatment, or the broader idea of restoring health and well-being.

In medical and health contexts, gydymu translates roughly as healing or cure, describing both the means and the outcome of care. In everyday language it can also convey emotional or psychosocial recovery, and it appears in literature, religion, and public discourse as a concept of restoration.

Historically, Welsh approaches to healing encompassed herbal remedies, folk practices, church-based care, and, in modern times, formal medicine. The term thus sits at the intersection of traditional culture and contemporary health systems in Wales, reflecting changes in how health and well-being are understood and pursued.
