Healing in Sons of the Forest is a simple task. There are a few ways you can go about healing your poor injured body. Players can eat and drink water to keep their health slowly increasing over time, or you can find antibiotics that are littered throughout the island. These antibiotics will work in the same way. 

You’ll be able to find antibiotics in suitcases scattered on the beach. Head to where you first landed, and you’ll likely spot them in the sand. If you’re all out of antibiotics, sleeping will provide you with a needed health increase. Make sure you’re falling asleep full and replenished, and you’ll be completely healed in no time.

The healing process isn’t hard, but you’ll do it frequently in Sons of the Forest.
