Stop a Bloody Nose
"Epistaxis (or a nosebleed in plain English) is the relatively common occurrence of hemorrhage from the nose, usually noticed when the blood drains out through the nostrils. There are two types: anterior (the most common), and posterior (less common, more likely to require medical attention). Sometimes in more severe cases, the blood can come up the nasolacrimal duct and out from the eye. Fresh blood and clotted blood can also flow down into the stomach and cause nausea and vomiting. It accounts for only 0.001% of all deaths in the U.S." (Wikipedia)

[YEA] 03/06/2008: Michelle from Lamora, Mexico writes: "I once got a really bad bloody nose when I was a kid, I'd tip my head back to try and stop it but it would start running down my throat. I thought I was gonna bleed to death. My mom started giving me dropperfuls of liquid cayenne and I was so worried about my nose that I didn't notice it was even hot so once I noticed it was helping I kept asking for more. The bleeding stopped within a few seconds. I couldn't blow my nose for a few days after for fear I'd break a blood vein but Cayenne works to stop bleeding"

[YEA] 05/20/2008: Paul from San Jose, CA writes: "COLD WASHCLOTH for NOSEBLEEDS:
I have put a cold washcloth on my neck and upper spine and face, the bleeding stopped in 30 seconds along with direct pressure at the side of the nose. I was very surprised.
I was told by a doctor that dropping a set of keys down the back of your shirt will stop a nosebleed. Supposedly the cold or sensation causes blood vessel constriction. This is where I got the idea for the washcloth."

[YEA] 09/22/2008: Jenna from Gold Coast, Australia writes: "I got bloody noses my whole childhood, particularly due to change of weather. The solution that always worked for me was to put an ice pack or couple of ice cubes wrapped in a tea towel to the side of the nose and wrap the rest of the nose in a tissue or the tea towel to soak up the blood. I suppose it made the veins retract. Either way it always worked."

PUSH ON GUMS OVER TOP FRONT TEETH
[YEA] 09/25/2007: Tonia from Ten Mile, Tennessee writes: "As a child I used to get nose bleeds every time I got too hot. It happened once while standing in line at an amusement park. Luckily there was a nurse in front of me and she had me hold my head back and push on my gums over my two front top teeth. The bleeding stopped almost instantly and after that the nose bleeds came less often. Now it's very rare for me to have one at all."
[YEA]08/01/2008: Chriss from Decatur, IL replies: "Bloody nose-my son has been blessed with my nose bleeds. After the second one tonight I found your site, my old tricks just weren't working. I tried the cold rag on the neck and pushed on his upper gums at the same time. In less than a minute the bleeding had stopped. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am printing the whole page for future reference."
