recuperative
Promoting bodily healing
Recuperative means aiding recovery or restoration, especially of health or strength.
A recuperative stay at the seaside helps someone regain vitality after illness.
The word describes anything with restorative power: recuperative sleep, recuperative therapy, the recuperative effects of rest.
Less commonly, it describes the capacity to recover: the body's recuperative abilities.
