Find the body of the dead npc, there should be a skull on the map. When you find said npc, just go up to them and mash that action button until they are cleansed. It's just like the "totems" you have to cleanse.

yes thats good and all, but how do you keep them healed so they don't die?

I'm curious about this too. As I recall, the medical hut's description says something about using stuff to heal NPCs but seems like its not yet implemented. I've left potions in the stash, but haven't seen any signs the NPCs use them.

Under current conditions, it seems like the best way to heal them up is to get them killed, then purify the corpse - they will then be good as new. And all you have to deal with is healing up the very large dose of frost that gets put on your health bar.

Alternately, you can leave them without tasks then leave the base for a few days. Seems like attacks don't come in when you aren't there so they'll eventually heal up.

But if there's a way to heal them when they are with you on an expedition, I haven't found it.

So far the only way I've found to heal them is to not assign them to tasks. They'll heal slowly over the course of a few days.

Conversely, if you don't allow them to heal but use them until they die with the intent of simply "purifying" them, they take a very large hit to morale. Supposedly low morale causes them to misbehave, but I'm not sure that's implemented yet either.
