potion

A potion is a special liquid or mixture that people believe will help them feel better or solve a problem. It's often something magical or mysterious.

You might hear about potions in fantasy stories like Harry Potter, but they're not just for magic. In real life, a lot of people use the word to talk about health remedies. For example, some people drink herbal teas that they think will help with stress or colds. These drinks are often called potions because they sound like special treatments. Some cooks might even call their favorite sauces or marinades "potions" because they add extra flavor and magic to food.
