Another option would be to wire a pressure plate to a heart statue, as they will produce hearts on a ten second cooldown, if you are looking for better ways to manage health in the field - boss fights and the like.
The wiki page explains it a bit better than I can, but if you set up remote health stations like this up around the world then all you have to do is run to the nearest health station.
Similarly, if you struggle with mana, you can do the same thing with star statues.

Use these: Celestial stone = 2+ life regen Moon stone = 2+ life regen (at night) Moon charm = 0.5+ life regen (at night) Charm of myths = 0.5 life regen Band of regeneration = 0.5 life regen Palladium armor (warrior set) =
major increase Fireplace
= decent increase Heart lamp = decent increase Honey pool
= good increase
I'd recommend to replace the charm of myths and the band of regeneration with a damage accessory or mobility accessory because they are both the weakest regen item in the game.
Also, a lot of this only works at night making it perfect for bosses and night time events.

Stand in Honey that is close to a CampFire while wearing Crimson armour.
You will generate health about 350-400% faster than normal.
If you actually had a regen potion, it would, of course, be even faster.
You could possibly recover 449 health in as little as 30 seconds.
I've seen it happen.
I have regeneration pools all over my server for boss battles and such.
A band of regeneration and a charm of myths would help even more!

I had a setup for a faster health regen in a pumpkin moon.
The easiest way to regen health is to place 2 heart lanterns and campfires around, while standing in a pool of honey with neptune's shell equipped.
Spectre armour works well for casters, it only regenerates with magic items.
I already tried using vampire knives but it didn't work.
Use greater healing potions and regen potions.
These accessories should be also worn : celestial stone charm of myths moon stone moon charm star veil/holy cross neckalace
All of this could be an amazing setup for boss fights.
P.s.
(I would use a heart statue and connect it to a 1 second timer to regain health back even faster.)

you can also get a heart crystal and chains to make a heart lantern which also increases health regen

In addition to the previous answers, as of 1.3, killing golem in expert mode will drop a treasure bag containing the shiny stone .
This increases the health regen massively when not moving (starting at 10 health per second, and increasing until it gets to around 40 health per second).

What is the fastest way to naturally regenerate HP?   I know for sure honey increases the rate of hp regen, and so do campfires.   I know for sure there are some other HP regenerating items such as Crimson Armor's Set Bonus as well as some accessories.  What's the fastest possible way to naturally regenerate HP without relying on potions?

You should place heart lanterns around that produce hearts in a ten second cooldown to manage your health in the field. While there are many ways to regenerate life, fast enough, the most common followed step is to stand in honey.
The community suggests few ways to improve life regeneration.
