Medical Herb

The Medical Herb, also known as the Prestoveggie or Pep Root, is a recurring recovery item in the Mana series. Available since the very first game, this strange root resembling a radish or common carrot is known to cure various status ailments not directly caused by magic. It cannot reverse magic effects such as time manipulation, defense breakdown, or offense breakdown.

A much weaker variant, the Antidote, debuted in Final Fantasy Adventure, where it was called a Potion of Pure, with the icon for a potion set to the left. Its only function is neutralizing poison.

Adventures of Mana
The AntidoteAoM (originally PureFFA) is used to cure Sumo from the poison status. It can be used three times per item.

The original Antidote is based on the recurring item in Final Fantasy. As well, concept drawings render it as a small bottle filled with the substance.
