Oh god, if I listed all the video games I've played that contained this, I'd be here all day.

* Every game in the ''Franchise/{{Grandia}}'' series contains several examples. The first game alone contains herbs, health weed, rainbow weed, ginseng, and the white and red sulfa weeds, the latter of which is a MacGuffin which is needed to treat a sick NPC.
* Each of the ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire'' games except for Dragon Quarter contains a healing item called Herb or Healing Herb.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Alundra}}'', herbs are the weakest available recovery item, but also the one of which it's possible to hold the largest amount at a time.
* Both ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar'' and ''VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue'' contain herbs and healing nuts as HP recovery items.
* ''VideoGame/AzureDreams'' contains a plethora of herbs and fruits which convey various effects on one's stats. The most basic are the medicinal herb, which recovers HP, and the pita fruit, which recovers a monster's MP. There's also one named the Healing Herb which can only be found on a particular floor and functions as a MacGuffin to heal the game's IllGirl.
* In ''VideoGame/VagrantStory'', the low tier recovery items are healing roots and healing bulbs for HP, and mana roots and mana bulbs for MP.
* The ''Franchise/WildArms'' series traditionally uses berries for HP recovery items (heal berry, potion berry, and mega berry, from weakest to strongest,) and magic carrots for MP recovery. The KO-recovery item is the revive fruit, and all the [[RareCandy stat increasing items]] are apples. 
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' games, the basic recovery item is "medicine," but in the [[VideoGame/SuikodenIII third game]], it's possible to collect "medicine" of all the various grades simply by picking leaves off certain plants. Considering that all the Suikoden games are set in a single highly consistent setting and timeline, it's probable that the "medicine" is simply medicinal herbs in every case. 
* In ''VideoGame/IllusionOfGaia'', Herbs, which restore 8 HP, are the game's only healing item. You'll be seeing a lot of these, but considering that the total number in the game is strictly limited, never quite enough. 
* The original ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' contains the "medicinal herb", which is likely the reason that having such items in [[EasternRPG Eastern role playing games]] is more the rule than the exception. It continues to appear in each installment of the Dragon Quest series.

...Just to name a few.
