Healing
Healing is a specific form of magic and an entirely different beast in terms of application. While it indeed can be used for a speedier recovery or stabilization of gravely wounded individual through ritualistic use, its effects can also be lasting and subtle by steady care and mild pushing of natural regeneration of a living being beyond usual human limits.
If you are applying the subtle method of use on the healing skill, each day of your care reduces the healing time for the wounded by additional day. This effect can be improved by use of the herbalism talent, by reducing for each day of care by two days of injury.
You can also attempt an impulse healing through a ritual. The base target number for this ritual is 14 instead of 16 and heals 1 hit point. With every added hit point you want to heal add +1 to your target number. For every 2 hit points healed you can reduce the severity of the injury by one level (from Life threatening to Bad and from Bad to Light and from light to None), therefore you would need to heal 6 hit points total to get someone from the doorstep of the death to almost full condition. This process takes minimally an hour, and the receiver of such treatment will remain relatively dizzy for about an hour further, while becoming extremely hungry.
