remedies
Sets things right
Remedies is the plural of remedy—solutions that cure, correct, or relieve.
Medical remedies treat ailments: home remedies for a cold, herbal remedies.
Legal remedies are forms of relief a court can grant: The plaintiff sought monetary remedies.
To remedy something is to fix it: We need to remedy this situation before it gets worse.
