Believe it
or not, cayenne pepper is a pain-free way to treat nosebleeds and it has been
used throughout history as a way to help blood clot. What’s great about these
natural remedies for nose bleeds is that they’re totally conducive to frugal
living; I bet you’ve got some cayenne pepper in your pantry right now!
The next time you or a loved one gets a nosebleed, simply pinch the nostrils together for 3 to 5 minutes while keeping the head upright. Then, moisten a Q-tip and sprinkle on some cayenne. Use the Q-tip to dab the cayenne pepper inside the nose, applying it directly to the source of the bleeding or as close to it as possible.
Remember cayenne’s natural blod-clotting abilities not just when there’s a nosebleed but whenever you need to stop bleeding from any source.
