Use curative items such as food, potions, and medicine to heal yourself. These items will be under the Curatives tab of your inventory.
Curatives range from herbs to finely crafted medicine called roborants, each healing varying amounts of health.
Some of these curatives also cleanse you from dangerous debilitations such as Blighted or Torched.
Powerful roborant can be made by combining herbs, dried food, and other materials. Dried food can be created with food items that ripen or age in your inventory.
The Pawns Command prompt at the bottom-left of the screen can be toggled to show inventory shortcuts instead.
Toggle the Pawn Command menu by holding LB (Xbox) or L1 (Playstation) and pressing the corresponding direction in the d-pad.
D-pad up will be the weakest health-restoring curative, and your D-pad down for the weakest stamina-restoring curative.

Some vocations can heal themselves or other party members with magickal spells!
The Mage is the best support vocation for healing and clearing debilitations for the whole party. At the same time, the Magick Archer can also heal party members in a pinch by charging a Remedy Arrow.
However, the Sorcerer can only heal themselves with the Decanter skill by absorbing an enemy's health.

Sleeping in an Inn, campsite, or in one of your purchased houses will also completely restore your character's health, including the Loss Gauge.
Resting in camps also has the advantage of having the opportunity to cook food for temporary buffs.
Since resting in inns costs money, you may consider buying houses in the Vernworth and Bakbattahl.
How to Get Houses and All Houses List
If you find yourself unable to heal past a certain point, your character has built up the Loss Gauge, which temporarily decreases your maximum health.
The easiest way to restore the Loss Gauge and heal to full health again is to rest in inns, a campsite, or in a house.
You can do an exploit by pausing the game right after receiving a fatal hit and using a curative item to prevent dying. While this keeps you from dying, you still build up the Loss Gauge and lose maximum health.
Each level-up increases your character's stats, including the base Health stat. However, each vocation receives different stat values depending on each vocation's stat growths.
The Warrior vocation boasts the most HP stat growth for each level up.
It's also possible to increase your character's health by learning and equipping the right Augments. These are unlocked by leveling a specific vocation, which you can then equip on any vocation afterward.
.In the previous game, the Vigilance augment increases your character's health by 100 and is unlocked by leveling up the Fighter vocation.
There are rings that can increase your maximum health. The Ring of Triumph and Ring of Exultation both increases your health by 100 points.
The Loss Gauge decreases your maximum health whenever you are hit or load the last save point after dying. You cannot heal past the Loss Gauge.
Restore your maximum health by resting in an inn, campsite, or house.
Powerful items such as a Wakestone or an Allheal Elixir also restores your maximum health, but it is only recommended to use these in difficult boss fights or during the Unmoored World Walkthrough end-game.

Health or HP is the stat that measures the Arisen and Pawn's ability to take damage and is represented by a green bar on the character interface. The higher your Health, the more damage you can take before dying or falling unconscious for Pawns.
The Health bar is further divided into White Health and the Loss Gauge.
White Health refers to the recoverable health that your character can recover through healing when your HP is lowered by taking damage.
The Loss Gauge is non-recoverable health, which you accumulate when getting hit or dying and loading from the last save point. This can only be removed by resting or using Wakestones or Allheal Elixirs.
