Ever cut yourself so bad from maybe a razor, paper cut, fell down, scraped your knee or even scissors? Have you ever had a cut to the point where the bleeding just kept gushing out and nothing you did stopped it? Well, I had one of those nasty cuts from shaving in a hurry. These type of cuts seem like they bleed forever. It feels like no matter what you try it just goes on and on and on. After placing tiny pieces of toilet paper on this cut I decide since it was still bleeding to use salt and water. I haven’t had a cut in so long, so I forgot all about what my grandma has told me about her home remedies. I wasn’t thinking about remedies at the time that’s why I just grabbed the tissue first.
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.
these are wonderful home remedies
Another, learned from a Cherokee grandmother to stop bleeding. Find a spiders web or cob web, pull it down and roll it around in your fingers and then place the web into a cut and it will stop it from bleeding. I've done this my self with a puncture wound from a dog bite that I could not stop the bleeding. After a few hours of bleeding that I couldn't stop, I remember this and it works like a charm. (Good tip for when you are outdoors without flour, salt or cornstarch) ;)
