Herbal medicine is an organic medicine used in doctoring to improve the results of medical treatment over not using medicine at all, but is significantly less effective than medicine and glitterworld medicine. In addition, herbal medicine will spoil if not frozen.

Herbal medicine is only truly valuable for treating injuries. During a disease, if a colonist's immunity is sufficiently far ahead of the disease progress, herbal medicine can be used to conserve better medicines while still giving treatment.

Under most circumstances it is not practical to use herbal medicine for surgery, as a 70% medical potency means surgery has a chance to fail.

Herbal medicine can either be grown from healroot (previously known as xerigium), or purchased from neolithic traders. Herbal medicine can also be used to make medicine when combined with cloth and neutroamine at a drug lab, which requires somebody who has at least 6 medicine skill and 3 crafting in order to do.
