Definition of a Potion

The open encyclopedia Wikipedia tells us that "A potion (from the latin potionis, meaning beverage, potion, poison) is a consumable drug or poison, usually containing magical properties."

"In myth, a potion is a concoction used to cure, enchant, or poison people, made by a shaman, sorcerer, or witch. For example, a love potion that makes a person fall in love other people (Tristan and Iseult included love potions in versions of the story, including Richard Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde); a sleeping pill that puts a person to sleep (in folklore, this can range from normal sleep to a trance like death); and Elixirs are potions that can heal/cure any wound/illness."

"During the 19th century, in some countries, it was common to see wandering charlatans providing medicine to cure all ailments, aches and pains, etc. These eventually became known as wandering medicines. In later years, they were replaced by/called patent drugs."
