Healing tincture
This qualifies as a potion, so Tremere can take knowledge of it as a free stunt. It takes a Intelligence skill of at least 2 to produce.
Certain things are hard to heal from. For Vampires, it's burning; be it caused by sunlight, fire, or orchialum. Burnt vampire cells only regenerate naturally at about twice the speed as Humans. Applying a healing tincture to the wound can make it heal far quicker, but still not quite as fast as a vampire's typical healing speed.
Utility
This medicine treats aggravated damage in Vampires by reviving and feeding the cells. It also works as a local anesthetic, although it's healing properties make it rather counterintuitive to use in surgery.
Manufacturing
Healing tinctures are made by condensing vampire blood and using a combination of naturally-occurring virites and added electrolytes to penetrate and revive cells while providing high amounts of nourishment to heal with. The blood used in this medicine is highly unstable, and drinking a blood tincture as a human is near guaranteed death.
Access & Availability
Blood tinctures are available at INSSO clinics, but are rarely approved for regular sale.
Complexity
This medicine is rather simple to produce, and requires minimal equipment. Early versions of the tincture did not use plasmapheresis (separation of plasma from blood cells), and instead condensed the blood through careful heating.
Discovery
Healing tinctures were developed in 1918, during the Disaster of London to treat injuries caused by the Guard of Priwen and other combatants.
