What is the cure for amenorrhea?

Depends on the cause of the amenorrhea. Treatments vary based on the underlying condition. Key issues are problems of surgical correction if appropriate, estrogen therapy (if estrogen levels are low), fertility, Iron and vitamins.

For those who do not wish to have children, no treatment at all may be appropriate if the underlying cause of the amenorrhea is not threatening to their health.

A woman is unable to conceive whilst she is amenorrhoeic, but 'athletic' amenorrhoea has no effect on long term fertility once menstruation recommences. The best way to treat 'athletic' amenorrhoea would be to decrease the amount of, and the intensity of exercise.

Athletic amenorrhea
Female athletes or women who perform considerable amounts of exercise on a regular basis are at risk of developing 'athletic' amenorrhoea. It is suspected that low body fat levels and exercise related chemicals (such as beta endorphins and catecholamines) disrupt the interplay of the sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone.

It completely depends upon the cause. If you're anorexic, that needs to be treated. If you're ultra athletic and run hundreds of miles per week, then you need to cut down. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this at all.
