Extremely Helpful Tips to Stop Bleeding from a Cut, Scrape, or Even a Paper Cut
These Home Remedies Work Wonders on a Cut
My grandma always highly believed in her home remedies. Years ago she told me many tips for different problems. I always knew her remedies would definitely come in handy at some time, especially the fact that I have three little angels to care for and help them out if something happens to them like a cut. We all know as parents our children will get many of cuts, bruises, knee scrapes etc in their life time. So here are a few awesome tips to control and stop the bleeding of a cut:
1. Salt and water- Take a small cup mix up some warm water and salt together. Place this onto a rag making sure it's pretty saturated. Then keep blotting the cut with this solution. The bleeding will stop after 2 minutes or so. It will not burn you at all.
2. Flour- Good old white flour does magic almost instantly. Place some flour directly onto your cut. This will work in seconds and the bleeding should stop.
3. Cornstarch- This is the same technique as the flour and it will also stop the bleeding automatically.
4. Tea bag- Take a regular tea bag run it under cold water. Make sure it's completely wet. Squeeze out a little of the excess water place this onto your cut. Press firmly, but be very careful. Hold for about 20 seconds or so then release the tea bag. The bleeding should stop.
5. Ground coffee- Take some ground coffee about a teaspoon full place it directly onto the cut. Press down very carefully to almost form a paste like band aide. After 2 minutes or so remove the coffee ground. The bleeding should stop.
