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.

History[edit]

Adventures of Mana[edit]

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

Secret of Mana[edit]

The Medical Herb can cure a single party member of all status aliments. The Undine spell Remedy has the same effect.

Trials of Mana[edit]

Medical Herbs once again cure an ally from all status aliments but death. The Lumina spell Twinkle Rain has the same effect. The plant can be bought for 10 lucre in stores for the 2D version and 20 lucre in the 3D one.

In the 2D version, medical herbs can be grown from the Magic Pot by planting an Item Seed. In the 3D version, they can also sprout from the magic pot should the player use either an item seed, a silver, gold or rainbow item seed. They can also be found by collecting sparkles or by breaking red urns.

A Pep Root will cure the hero from any status effect, save from poison or ghost.

Behind the scenes[edit]

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. Antidotes were redrawn for Adventures of Mana; they now resemble the modern Medical Herb. The rationale behind this particular change is not known.
