seek treatment
شخصى مریض شده است، براى شفا یافتن لازم است: نزد پزشک برود؛ یا تربت سیدالشهدا علیه السلام را بخورد و یا دعا کند؟!
If a person falls ill, should he seek treatment a) with a doctor, or b) by eating dust from near Imam al-Husayn’s grave, or c) through supplication?

It is a corpus-based translation. This is a equivalence for "شفا یافتن" in the religious books.

Discussion
Both can be used...but, for example, if you look at the websites related to Lourdes, France (Google "Lourdes cure" and "Lourdes heal") you will see that "cure" is used more with "miraculous" and implies the disease is completely gone.
