Resident Evil 6 herbs: tablet recipes and partner recovery
Compare every basic green-herb recipe and learn the difference between treatment and a healing revival.
Edition covered
The four-campaign game first released in 2012, using the updated PC release for pictures and campaign availability. Launch-console unlock conditions and later platform-specific extras can differ.
Combine before filling the tablet case

Open the item inventory, combine compatible herbs and then store the result as tablets. The recipe table shows why saving a green herb for a combination can improve the supply.
| Ingredients | Tablets | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| One green herb | 1 | Emergency preparation |
| Green + green | 3 | More efficient than two separate greens |
| Green + green + green | 6 | A larger reserve from three greens |
| Green + red | 6 | Preserve a green herb when carrying red |
Keep herbs and ready tablets distinct
An herb in the inventory is not yet a ready healing tablet. Prepare the case in cover so a hectic encounter does not turn into an inventory-management problem.
| Situation | Action | What to remember |
|---|---|---|
| Herbs are in inventory | Combine and store in tablet case | Inventory herbs and ready tablets differ |
| One health block is missing | Use a ready tablet if needed | One tablet restores one vitality block |
| Partner is dying | Use treatment or tablet revival | Treatment alone does not replenish vitality |
| Both players need recovery | Move within healing range first | Avoid crossing enemy fire to group up |
| No safe inventory opening | Make space before converting herbs | The encounter may continue while browsing |
Help a partner before the next hit
Treatment can lift a partner out of the dying state without restoring vitality. A tablet-assisted revival also restores health. Clear the immediate danger before committing to the interaction.
Heal close together when possible
Capcom’s manual notes that nearby partners can benefit from tablet or spray recovery. Coordinate the timing instead of standing far apart while both players spend supplies.
