The Medicine Pouch below the Health Meter in Horizon Zero Dawn
The Medicine Pouch stores medicinal plants for restoring lost health.
Horizon Zero Dawn[]
Medicine Pouch contents are represented by the small green bar below the Health Meter. Remaining Medicine Pouch bars are represented by the green plus signs once its contents go above 100%.
Medicinal plants[]
The medicine pouch is filled by harvesting different types of medicinal plants found in nature. Each plant collected adds a certain percentage to the Medicine Pouch Meter (ex: 10% or 20%) which can be gradually transferred to the Health Meter over time to restore an equivalent amount of Aloy's health by pressing Up on the D-Pad. The Frozen Wilds adds two plants that add 60% to the meter.
- Medicinal Grey Omen
- Medicinal Hintergold
- Medicinal Ochrebloom
- Medicinal Salvebrush
- Medicinal Valley's Blush
- Medicinal Wild Ember
- Medicinal Fresh Salvebrush
- Medicinal Thaw Omen

Medicinal plants[]
Rather than restore a percentage of Aloy's health, each Medicinal plant restores a fixed number of HP points. When used, the number of berries consumed is always enough for her to reach full heath. Once the medicine pouch is full, additional medicinal plants collected will go into Aloy's Resource Pouch: once this pack is full, additional plants will be sent to Aloy's stash.
