Under no circumstances is it ''ever'' practical to use herbal medicine for surgery: you'll only have a 70% chance of succeeding a surgical operation at best (before taking cleanliness and exponent factors into account), and that's with a healthy bionic trauma savant godlike doctor who is on [[luciferium]], [[go-juice]] and [[wake-up]] all at the same time; which results in the highest possible manipulation and consciousness you can ever get in the vanilla game (190% and 130% respectively).

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 in 150 days, or 2.5 years, if not refrigerated. See Temperature for details

Acquisition

Herbal medicine can be harvested from healroot and wild healroot, purchased from neolithic traders, or found on Tribal pawns.

Usage

Herbal medicine is a cost-efficient choice for treating injuries or minor illness, where its maximun tend quality of 70% will suffice. It also combines well with the tend quality offset of hospital beds, which allow tending results above its normal maximum. If a sick colonist's immunity is sufficiently far ahead of the disease progress, herbal medicine can be used in place of better medicine.

Under most circumstances it is not practical to use herbal medicine for surgery, as a 60% medical potency means surgery has a greater chance to fail, unless when using your most enhanced doctors.

Herbal medicine can be used to make medicine when combined with cloth and neutroamine at a drug lab, which requires somebody who has at least 4 intellectual and 4 crafting in order to do.
