Does athelas give resistance ever in LotR, though? It's more of a healing and refreshing thing. Didn't it make Frodo more resistant to the effects of the Morgul Blade?

Or rather healed him of his wound slightly and refreshed him? That's what I gather, at least.

"It has great virtues, but over such a wound as this its healing powers may be small."

"The herb had also some power over the wound, for Frodo felt the pain and also the sense of frozen cold lessen in his side; but the life did not return to his arm, and he could not raise or use his hand."

Perhaps you're right.
