Trivia

• While the maximum health is 9999, stacking more of these, even if you're not at their cap, will raise your health beyond this limit.^{[verification needed]}
• Getting this item makes somewhat frequent, oval shaped, green particles appear from your character when moving.
• Bitter Root may be based on either ginseng or ginger, looking similar to both, being "bitter" and healing, since both are used as herbal medicines.
