A '''House of Healing''' is a location in Dragon Quest games beginning with {{Dragon Quest II}} where members of the {{Hero 2}}'s party can be detoxed (cured of poison), uncursed, or revived.  There is a fee charged for these services.  Also starting with {{Dragon Quest IV}} onward, members of the {{Hero 4}}'s party can be informed of their level and the number of experience points needed to gain the next level, as well as save the game.
