Healing Powder (Fallout: New Vegas)

Healing powder is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

It can be found already made or crafted at a campfire. The player is instructed on how to do this in the quest By A Campfire On The Trail by Sunny Smiles.

Characteristics
This is a craftable item at a campfire, requiring: broc flower (1) and xander root (1). Be wary of consuming these in the same quantities as stimpaks as they carry a -2 Perception penalty.

Although made at a campfire, healing powder actually uses the medicine skill to scale its effectiveness. It also counts as a stimpak for the purposes of the Stim-ply Amazing achievement.

Soldiers of the legion use healing powder, as their primary source of medicine and healing, as the Legion ban the use of other chems, such as stimpaks. Because of this, you can find healing powder around legion camps and carried by legion soldiers. You can obtain large quantities of healing powder at the legion fort.

Legate Lanius carries a special version called Leg. healing powder. It is weightless, heals 3 HP per second over 27 seconds, and uses the same model as Buffout, at maximum effectiveness the powder heals 9 HP a second for 27 seconds.
