Good question. In the first Witcher, the Journal entry says that Triss is allergic to "magic" (unspecified what type) and therefore must use "natural remedies". The quest "A potion for Triss" involves making a healing potion that she is not allergic to. The potion ingrediants are: white gull, calcium equum, celandine, and the claw of a frightener.

It's possible Triss is only allergic to certain types of potions or magic remedies. Not sure how Mandrake elixir is classified; it's conceivable that she is not allergic to it, given that she doesn't seem to age. But, I honestly don't know.
