Palworldhas no shortage of mechanics to learn, but sometimes, even the most basic things can take a while to figure out. If you’re out wandering the wilds, the odds are you’ll encounter trouble sooner than later, and if you’re unprepared, you’ll walk away with a heap of bruises and some bad memories.

Healing yourself and your pals is something that you’ll need to know when you start taking on bosses, raids, and more dangerous pals. Luckily, there are a few ways to get you and your team back up and running after a brush with death.

Updated on July 12, 2025, by Eva Csaki:The challenges and boss battles in Palworld are ever-changing, and with new Pals, bosses, raids, and combat mechanics being added in each new patch of the game, there’s no shortage of combat encounters to play with. Palworld gets more and more dangerous by the day, and healing becomes more and more important. To help keep up with the new dangers of the Palpagos islands, we’ve added even more ways to make and acquire medicine in Palworld to this guide.

Basics

It’s important to recognize that healing your Pal is not the same as healing yourself. The methods for healing a Pal versus yourself differ greatly, assome methods are solely Pal-specific.

Luckily, both you and your Pal willregain health automaticallyas you wander. If you are injured and have run or hidden from a fight, your HP bar will slowly start to refill as you spendtime out of danger. HP will replenish while you walk, hide, or run away from a fight andare not actively taking damage.

If you areattacked, shot at, or suffering from a status effect like being poisoned or on fire,you will not regain HP from waiting. Similarly, if you are drowning and stuck in the water, your health bar will not refill until you make it safely to land. Remember,Pals can drown, too.

Try not to dieout of boundsof where you can return easily. If you plan to take a long swim and end up dying in the water, ensure you can still retrieve your dropped bag, otherwise, it’sgone forever.

Palworld: Teafant heals the player.

BothPals and peoplecan suffer fromstarvation. If you’re running on an empty fuel bar, your health will start declining rapidly, and the same applies to starving Pals.

To save yourself from starvation,eat whatever food is availableto you. Just getting a little bit of food in your or your Pal’s belly is enough to kick-start thehealingprocess.

How To Heal Your Pals

Healing Pals is, thankfully, much easier than healing yourself. There are several ways you can get your Pals back into top shape, no matter where you are. You can either useMedical Supplies, send your Pal to thePalbox, or simplywait to heal your Pal.

There are three kinds ofMedical Suppliesthat you can craft, find, or buy in Palworld. All three types of supplies will heal your Pals, with varying efficiency.

While Medical Suppliesdon’t replenish your Pals' HP, they doheal anyailments,illnesses, or injuriesthat your Pals are suffering from.

The three kinds of Medical Supplies areLow-Grade Medical Supplies, Medical Supplies, andHigh-Grade Medical Supplies. You can buy Medical Supplies frommerchants, find them inchests, get them fromPals, or craft them at theMedieval Medicine Workbench.

Once you reachlevel 43, you may also build theElectric Medicine Work Benchwith 40Refined Ingots, 10Circuit Boards, and 20Carbon Fibers. You can unlock this crafting recipe withthree Technology Points.

If you have aPal deployed at your base with theMedicine Productionability, they will automatically tend to your Medicine Workbenches andcraft any Medical Suppliesyou queue for them.

The following Pals can use the Medicine Work Bench to craft Medical Supplies for you:

Sibelyx

Vaelet

Chests will respawn in the same locationyou first found them, so it’s worth it to double back and loot them again in hopes of getting better loot items and more Medical Supplies.

To use Medical Supplies,select the one you needfrom your player inventory. Selecting it will bring up yourPal Party menu.Greyed-out Palseitherdo not need medical attentionor require adifferent kindof Medical Supply. Pals who arelit upcan be selected and, therefore,treated.

You can tell when your Pal is sick or suffering in a few ways. Usually, you’ll get anotification on the left-hand sideof your screen telling you that your Pal issuffering from a condition, and it will sometimes even tell you how they came down with that condition.

You can also head into yourPalbox or Party tabandselect your Palfrom the respective menus. If your Pal is suffering from a condition, it will show up in theright-hand status baron the Pal’s menu screen.

Thegradeof the Medical Supply determines which illnesses they can heal. Here is the rundown of treatments and how to craft each supply type:

Colds and Sprains

Ulcers and Fractures

3Ingots, 3 Horns, and 1Bone

Weakened and Depressed

5 Ingots, 5 Horns, and 2 Bones

If you’re thinking of panic-feeding your Pals all your food mid-fight, don’t. Eatingwill not replenish your HP.You’ll end up wasting valuable time and resources.

If you want your injured Pal toregain HP quickly, the best thing you can do issend them to the Palbox.

Pals in the Palbox willheal and be revived. If you have anunconscious Pal, youmustput them in thePalboxtorevive themotherwise they will remain knocked out.

Some Palswill evendrop Low-Grade Medical Supplieswhen killed. Where they found or made these supplies, we don’t know. All we do know is that farming Medical Supplies in the wild is a real help when your team is injured.

Here’s thelist of Palswe know todrop Low-Grade Medical Supplies:

How To Heal Yourself

Healing yourself is a little more complicated than healing your Pals. For starters,you can’t use Medical Supplieslike Pal’s can. Medical Supplies arerestricted to Pal use only.

If you may successfully escape a fight andreach your base, thequickestway to regain health is tosleep in yourbed. Napping during the day or sleeping through the night willreplenish your health barand get you back into shape for your next fight.

Consider the bed theplayer equivalentof the Palbox.

You can get into bed atany time of day, but sleeping in your bed during nighttime will allow you toskip directly to the daytime. Keep this in mind if you’re ever anxious to getday-specific Palswithout waiting for the time to change.

You need tostay in bedfor the duration of time that it takes to fill your health bar. Simply sitting in bed willnot immediately replenishyour health.

If you’reout in the wilderness, and you don’t have a reliable way to return to your base or a bed, thefastest way to healis to have aPalin your Partywho can heal you.Some Pals havePartner Skillsthat allow them toheal youwhen activated.

‘When activated, spouts mysterious water that

soothes wounds and restores the player’s HP.’

Felbat

Life Steal

‘While fighting together, grants the player and Felbat the life steal effect

which absorbs some of the received damage and restores HP.’

‘When activated, uses medicinal flowers to restore the player’s HP.’

‘When activated, the queen’s soothing graces

greatly restore the player’s HP.’

Lovander

Heart Drain

‘While fighting together, grants the player and Lovander the life steal effect

Theearliest healer Palyou can acquire isTeafant, so if you see one when you’re exploring at the beginning of the game, it’s worth it to capture it. Teafant’sSoothing Showerability will spray you with water and quickly replenish your health bar.

Remember that your healer Pal needs to bein your Party and out of theirPal Spherefor you to have access to their Partner Skill. SomePal injuriesmay alsolock you outof access to theirPartner Skills, so remember to keep your Pal’s just as safe and happy as you keep yourself.

Other Medicines

When you’re crafting at theMedieval Medicine Workbench, you may notice that there are twonon-Medical Supplyitems for you to craft,Strange JuiceandSuspicious Juice.

you may use both Strange and Suspicious Juices toimprove your Pal’s work abilities. Both of these items increase your Pal’s work speed and mood, but theycome at a price.

Giving your Pal either one of these juices willdecrease yourPal’s Sanityscore. Pals with low Sanity become unhappy,Depressed, andrefuse to work.

Only use these juices if your need forimmediate productivityoutweighs your need forsane Pals.

Your Pals willregain Sanityfrom hanging out in theHot Spring, but to treat theDepressed condition, you need to give your PalHigh-Grade Medical Supplies.
