|notes = *This is the only potion in Auntie Ethel's workshop with a short-term benefit and long-term detriment.
**Attempting to {{SAI|Remove Curse}} the effect will trigger the detriment immediately.
*If you absolutely must use the short-term benefit, the negative effect can be mitigated with the following, somewhat extreme strategies:
** Killing the character in question (they must actually be dead, not simply rolling death saves) and then bringing them back via withers or a scroll of revivify will remove the effect, but this will also remove certain other other "permanent" effects such as [[Loviatar's Love (Condition)|Loviatar's Love]].{{Verify}}
** You could respec at [[Withers]] into a build that simply doesn't utilize strength.
** You can switch to the [[Club of Hill Giant Strength]] as your main weapon.
** If you plan on taking a story path that would remove one character from your party roster permanently, (such as sacrificing someone to [[BOOOAL]]), you could give the potion to the character in question.
*** Simmilarly, you could give the potion to a Withers hireling you plan on later dismissing.
** You can also opt to simply not consume the potion until the final stretch of the game, when you had already taken your final long rest.

== Notes and Trivia ==
While having beneficial uses unlike the other potions Auntie Ethel has in her workshop, it is dangerous if not removed with Remove Curse before a Long Rest as there is no means to regain the lost strength.
