Unfortunately, you cannot be healed by a spell, potion, or magical effects, other than your Relentless Nature trait unless it specifically states that Undead creatures can be healed from its effects. You cannot be revived from death short of a Wish spell.
Relentless Nature
- Starting at level 3, if you are below half your hit point maximum, but not at 0 hit points, at the start of your turn, you regain 1 hit point plus Constitution Modifier. You can do this twice per long rest
- When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
- You know the general distance between you and any creature involved in you goal, such as a person you seek vengeance against, or someone you pledged to defend. At times this awareness will be stronger than others, it can be affected by proximity, magical effects, your emotional state. This awareness fails if the creature is on another plane of existence.
