regenerates
Heals itself anew
Regenerates means grows back or renews.
A lizard regenerates its tail; skin regenerates after a wound.
The word extends to restoration more broadly: a leader who regenerates a struggling organization, a policy that regenerates urban neighborhoods.
In biology, regeneration is the regrowth of lost tissue or limbs.
Figuratively, rest regenerates the spirit.
