One could see what Tauriel did as the Elven equivalent of basic field medicine. When she gets the herbs, she has to think about it for a sec, like she's trying to remember something she was taught long ago but hasn't ever had to use. Tauriel could have some basic healing abilities by virtue of being an elf and having been taught some first aid, but would still rank well below the abilities of a true elven healer. That means Kili's injury might not be as serious as the movie makes it out to be, but we could be looking at something equivalent to the the difference between whether or not you have antibiotics. There were injuries and illnesses people used to die of all the time that are considered incredibly minor now because they are so easily remedied (unless you are living in an over-taxed refugee camp or something). Kili would have died without Tauriel's help, but for elves what she did might have been the equivalent of slapping on a band-aid.

What confused me about that scene: If that was an elves-only kind of healing, how did the dwarf (was it Bofur? I can't remember the names) already know which plant to get? Apparently, they already knew that they needed this articular herb (Athelas (?), I think, to counter the poison) and all Tauriel seemed to do was grab it and steal the show. That's probably not what it was supposed to look like, but it definitely how the writing/the cut made it seem.
