Release information
This card originated in the EX Hidden Legends expansion with artwork by Ryo Ueda. It was later reprinted in the EX FireRed & LeafGreen set with a slight change in the text. The card was reprinted again in the Platinum expansion with new artwork by the same artist. This print removed the "(excluding Pokémon-ex)" clause from the effect, widening the range of Pokémon the card can be attached to. It was reclassified as a Goods card when released in the Torterra Starter Deck and printed with new artwork by Hideaki Hakozaki.

Trivia
Life Herb is the first Trainer card to appear in two consecutive English-language sets, and would remain the only one until Bebe's Search and Night Maintenance appeared consecutively in Mysterious Treasures and Secret Wonders.
Origin
This card is based on a Revival Herb, a herbal medicine in the Pokémon games that revives a fainted Pokémon to full HP.
