Panacea was a remedy that supposedly would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely. Its creation was one of the best known goals of the alchemists.[1][2]
The Elixir of Life may have been considered the achievement of Panacea,[2] as Lord Voldemort sought it out to regain a body after his original one was destroyed via a rebounded Killing Curse,[3] and it can extend life indefinitely as long as it is drunk regularly.[4]
At some point in or before 1990, a rogue alchemist in Great Britain created and sold a fake panacea that was made of lard and corn starch, which gave the drinker boils instead of immortality.[5]
