* Lapis from Chrono Trigger. 200+ HP to everyone and fairly easy to find, cause they can be bought.
* Megaelixirs in every game they appear in from Square. Nothing can beat a complete reset of your HP, MP, and status in some games.

The miscellaneous Bread in Medal of Honor: Frontline, the message that pops up when you eat it has become my name.
The crunchy chick from Fable. You eat a live baby chicken, hearing the bones snap as you chew them, then you gain a little bit of health and some evil points. *nom nom nom* "Tastes like chicken! Oh wait..."
I loved the different spelling from FFVI: Fenix Down.thedeathscythe said:
Duke Nukem's ego.
Been pounded in the face by that Chaingun-Cannon? Why that is a handsome man in the mirror!
Shotgun to the balls? I'll just down that bottle of beer.
Walked into those tripmines? Dammit, I need a shit. Mind if I use your neck?
Alien Parasites chomping on your brains? Hey baby, you wanna dance?
Alien Queen skewering your insides? Ahh my book, Why I'm So Great. I am so great!

The sacred ash from Pokemon. If all of your pokemon have fainted, it brings them all back with full health. Couple that with five max elixers and you have most of your pokemon back in action.
I always liked the Sandvich from TF2, but, if we're speaking from a practical standpoint, I like the Gel items in Tales games. They don't heal a set amount. Rather, they heal a percent of your maximum HP. That makes even cheap Apple Gels, which heal 30% of your HP, handy to have later in the game.
I can't remember what they were called, but my favourite healing item has to be the ones from Legend of Dragoon (PS1). They are basically the same as the famous "Potions" from Final Fantasy - but with one crucial difference:
Final Fantasy-type potions restore a set amount of HP per use. As your characters level up, their max HP increases, the enemies start doing more damage, and the basic Potion becomes pretty much worthless. So you have to sell off your Potion stockpile and start using the more expensive Hi-Potion. And then THAT becomes obsolete.
Their Legend of Dragoon equivalents handle things differently: The regular Potion restores 50% of the character's CURRENT MAXIMUM HP. No matter how high. A character with a max HP of, say, 12, will gain 6 HP. A character with a max HP of 80 000 will, on consuming the EXACT SAME POTION, gain 40 000 HP. The fancier version restores 75% of max HP.
Can anyone name just ONE other game where a common restorative item aquired on disc one, is still able to save the hero's life during the final boss fight?

Water from PoP:SoT. I always thought it was so simple and so elegant.
Also regenerating health can go die in a fire.
