Heal yourself by eating berries

You can heal your health in Valheim by eating some raspberries, mushrooms, cooked meat and consuming health potions. Make sure to explore a lot to find plenty of Raspberries on bushes and Mushrooms in dungeons. There’s also the Minor Health Potion that will restore your health and you need 1 Mushroom, 1 Blueberry and 1 Dandelion for that. For meat, you have to kill animals like Deer and Boar and get it as a drop. Note that cooking raw meat can be done with the help of a Cooking Station. Of course, you need a fire under it to get it cooked properly. That’s where a campfire or any fire source like a firepit will come in handy.

  2. Press F and head to the Crafting Tab.
  3. Click on the Cooking Station.

To recap, eating cooked meat, raspberries, mushrooms and consuming minor health potion will give you healing in Valheim when you have received some damage due to enemies. In the later section of the game, there will be more ways to heal yourself like crafting a particular mead. Do note that for potions, you also need a Cauldron with a fire under it. You can get a Cauldron when you smelt Tin Ore. Lastly, remember that other types of food will also heal you slowly.
