Yes.

• Creatures with the Recuperation ability remove afflictions from themselves over time (examples: Unicorn Riders, Pangaean Minotaurs, Ancient Kraken, Red Bull).
• Immortal Units repair battle afflictions, but only in their home dominions (examples: Vampire Counts, Master Liches, Wraith Centurions)
• Creatures with the Heal command can use it to remove battle afflictions from units and commanders in the same province as themselves (example: Mother of Serpents, Fairy Queen, Arcocephelian Priestesses, Tien Chi Immortal).
• The Global Enchantment "Gift of Health" causes all your creatures in your dominion to Recuperate as if they were Pangaeans.
• The Unique Artifact "The Chalice" grants the Heal command to the commander who carries it.

The last bit is incorrect. The Chalice doesn't give the Heal command to its carrier.

Red Bull

Red Bull gives you wiiiings!
Sorry, I had to do that.

Anyways, the chalice automatically has a chance to heal units in whatever province it is currently located in.

Immortal healing is dominion dependent? Haven't tried that much.

The caveat about the 'Heal' command not working on old-age afflictions, the inanimate or the lifeless should be mentioned.

So then if I'm playing Hellheim EA the only way I can remove afflictions other than that global ritual is the chalice?

yes... or the faerie queen if the afflictions are not from old age.
