Green Herb & Red Herb
Unlike previous Resident Evil games, healing herbs do not directly heal your life, but are used to gain Health Tablets (see below).
Health Tablets
New to Resident Evil 6 is Health Tablets. While the player still finds herbs throughout the game, they can not be used directly to heal you. Instead, the player must convert them into tablets.
Tablets, which are not part of the characters inventory, can then be used one at a time to heal one of the players health blocks. The number of tablets currently available is visible on the HUD and the player can hold up to 12/17.
| Herb Combination | # of Tablets Created |
| Green Herb | 1 |
| Herb (G + G) | 3 |
| Herb (G+ G+ G) | 6 |
| Herb (R+G) | 6 |
First Aid Spray
Unlike herbs, First Aid Sprays are stackable and are not stored in your case to gain Health Tablets. Equipped like a Grenade by pressing up or down on the D-pad, the spray restores your health to full no matter how depleted it is. An added bonus is that these can be used on the move while avoiding enemy attacks.
