{{flavour|A potion which restores a small amount of health, and cures poison and confusion.}}

Quaffing a '''potion of curing''' restores <code>4 + 1d7</code> HP (5-11 HP, 8 HP on average) and cures [[poison]] and [[confusion]].

{{crawlquote|You feel better.}}

==Strategy==
These are best used for curing confusion. It's also good against poison, which can stack quickly. A single potion heals all poison, no matter how severe it is. If you need pure HP restoration, a [[potion of heal wounds]] is stronger. In lieu of other escape options, curing can help - just don't be surprised if a monster outdamages the healing.

Do note that these potions ''only'' cure poison and confusion. The vast majority of [[status effect]]s are unaffected. If you're dealing with effects such as [[Petrify|petrification]], [[slow]]ness, or an [[Bad Form|unwanted transformation]], you'll want a [[potion of cancellation]] instead.

Potions of curing are the most common potion in the game. If you get lethally poisoned by an [[adder]], but don't have curing identified, try quaffing the biggest stacks of potions first.
