Hemostatic powder is supposed to stop or slow bleeding, but it also heals the body part immediately when applied. Not fully heal it, just one to two lines per application.

Working As Intended.
It’s the same as bandages, first aid kits, or disinfectant. Videogame healing demands instant gratification, so in addition to curing status effects, healing items also restore some hitpoints on the spot.
