Healing potions aka elixirs can be purchased from the Medicine Man in Port Royal. To find him go to the drydock, then turn around and head towards the path to the gov mansion. He is standing in front for his cottage well back from the beach. Name is Thomas S......
You may buy and equip 3 potions at a time and their healing power goes up as the price does. Once purchased they will appear in your weapons inventory and from there you can equip them into the f4 slot on your panel. Also, you can only equip one kind at a time so buy the same, not different strengths.
There is a bit of lag between clicking/pushing the f4 key while in battle and the potion working so I usually try and use it immediately as my health turns red or even toward the end of the yellow.
