Healing Salve

The Healing Salve is an item purchasable at the Main Shop, under Consumables. It allows the user to regain lost health over a period of time while out of combat.

Additional information
Stacks with itself in inventory, there is no stack limit. The sell-back price adapts based on the number of Salves in a stack.

Healing Salves are not shareable, however, they can be cast on allies.

Tips

 * The Healing's effect gets dispelled upon taking damage, so do not use it in the middle of combat.
 * In some situations however, it may be worth it to use it in combat. Even 1 second long of it healing can be enough to prevent deaths in some situations.
 * Depending on the hero, in the early-game, one Salve can refill about 50%-100% of a hero's health. It spares the hero from having to move back to the team's fountain to heal back up, which can take a lot of time, or cost the player a Town Portal Scroll.
 * Unlike Tangoes, Healing Salves are more suited for a defensive lane. If the lane carry tries to farm and takes some damage, he can fall back for a short time to quickly heal back up and continue farming.

Trivia

 * Prior to patch 6.54 in the original DotA, Healing Salve was known as "Flask of Sapphire Water". The name was likely changed to help visually differentiate it from Bottle.
