For MP (last columns apply if you can cast spells with reduced MP):

Source HP Gain Cost MP/HP MP/HP (-1) MP/HP (-2) MP/HP (-3) Notes
Cannelloni Cocoon All HP 20 MP -- -- -- -- All HP
Tongue of the Walrus 30-40 (35 avg) 10 MP 0.286 0.257 0.229 0.2 Cures Beaten Up
Disco Power Nap 40 12 MP 0.3 0.275 0.25 0.225 Cures various effects
Lasagna Bandages (non-combat) 10-30 6 MP 0.3 .25 .2 .15
Saucy Salve 10-15 4 MP 0.32 0.24 0.16 0.08 Combat-only
Lasagna Bandages (combat) 10-20 6 MP 0.4 .333 .267 .2
Disco Nap 20 8 MP 0.4 .35 .3 .25 Cures various effects
Tongue of the Otter 10-20 7 MP 0.467 0.4 0.333 0.267 Cures Beaten Up

In order to translate from MP per HP to Meat per HP, multiply Meat per MP by MP per HP.

Also worth noting:

  • Ailment Ointments are more cost-efficient than Disco Nap and Tongue of the Otter if you use soda water and have no modifiers; and they're still more efficient than Tongue of the Otter if you use soda water and only have a -1 MP modifier.
  • Cannelloni Cocoon is the most efficient skill if you need to restore a sufficiently large number of HP. With no modifiers, that number is 70 HP; but with modifiers, that number rises.

The last resort is Doc Galactick Tonic, available to everyone at any time. Note that before the herbs quest, it is cheaper to heal yourself using any of the skills listed below instead of using Doc Galaktik's other medicine (except Cannelloni Cocoon with less than 34 HP).
