Just started a new character with alchemy, I need some decent healing potion recipes. I would normally go with restoration to take care of this problem but my character is terrified of magic and thinks its evil. Any help is appreciated.

The easiest combo to gather up would probably be deer meat & cairn bolete caps (the big white shrooms found usually in caves).


Full Novice list: [SI= Shivering Isles]

Ambrosia

Boar Meat

Cairn Bolete Cap

Daedra Heart

Flame Stalk (SI)

Human Heart

Lady's Mantle Leaves

Mugwort Seeds

Venison

Void Essence (SI)

Water Root Pod Pit (SI)

Thank you so much.

And in a pinch, just eating the Cairn Bolete will help, although it's not as efficient as a potion.

The other thing, which a lot of people overlook, is simply resting for an hour whenever you've reached a safe place. This heals you, so you can save your precious potions for when you really need them.
