""Episkey," said Tonks. Harry's nose felt very hot, then very cold. He raised a hand and felt it gingerly. It seemed to be mended."
— Nymphadora Tonks fixes Harry Potter's broken nose[src]

Episkey is a healing spell that heals relatively minor injuries such as broken toes.

Known users

In 1996, Nymphadora Tonks used this spell to fix Harry Potter's broken nose, and that same year Harry used it to fix Demelza Robins' broken lip; he probably had not learned it in class, but assumed that if it could heal broken noses, it could heal split lips.

Known practitioners

Etymology

The word comes from the Greek "episkevi" ("επισκευή"), which means "repair".
