Potion of healing

Potions of healing were magic potions that healed the wounds of creatures who drank them.

Description
Regardless of its potency, a potion of healing was a red liquid that shimmered when agitated within its vial.

The potions typically had a pleasant scent of honey and orange blossoms.

Powers
Upon drinking a potion of healing, some of a creature's wounds healed within seconds. There were several different types of potions of healing, which varied mostly by the intensity of their curative power.

Any variety of potion of healing could be brewed by anyone skilled with the use of a herbalism kit, even if the brewer did not have any magical ability, provided the raw materials were available. Brewing times varied, as well as cost: the simplest potions of healing took merely a day to brew, while the potent potion of supreme healing took almost a month and was substantially more expensive to produce.

History
In mid-14 century DR, a halfling curio merchant in the Yawning Portal, Nalbas, was selling his strange versions of potions of healing claiming them too be as potent as any other version of the potion with only difference it being bitter to taste.

In the late 15 century DR, potions of healing and potions of greater healing produced by the wood elf druid Fala Lefaliir were available for purchase at Corellon's Crown, a store located in Trollskull Alley in the North Ward of Waterdeep.
