How to heal in dayz?

[Flying Pigs]

I used to play the game a lot but havent been able to for a while, i used to get energized and hydrated to heal myself but that doesn't seem to be working. I was hoping one of you could explain how to heal or if i'm just doing something wrong. (Without saline bag or other two people methods to heal)

Healing in dayz is very very slow.
You have 5000 max blood and 5000 max health.
If you're light green energized and light green energized then:
If blood is under 5000 you recover 3 blood per second.
If blood is at 5000 you recover 3 health per second. (This is evidenced a green "healing" icon in the hud).
If either or both energized/hydrated are at dark green you recover only 1 per second.
If either or both are below energized/hydrated you do not recover at all.
You can also recover blood via saline bags (500 blood) and transfusions from compatible donors (+1000 blood for receipent, -1000 blood for donor). You cannot recover health instantly via any means.

So if you are injured first you will recover blood, then you will recover health. Healing from being near dead (500 blood, 500 life) to completely healthy (5000 blood, 5000 life) takes about 45 minutes if fully hydrated and energized.
