[YEA]  05/20/2008: Paul from San Jose, CA: "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]  01/16/2012: Usopp from Cranbrook, Bc: "On a FULL stomach - finely cut up a clove of garlic (raw is the only way I do this) swallow it down. (I put it on a spoon and add a bit of syrup on top & drink it down with milk. That Ends my nosebleeds.

Note: If your stomach starts to burn then you did not have enough food in to be a sponge from the acid in the garlic. So then just quickly eat bread and sip milk till it goes away. (I have done this before! ) milk coats the stomach and the bread is a great sponge."

[YEA]  09/22/2008: Jenna from Gold Coast, Australia: "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."

[YEA]  07/30/2011: Don from Penrose, Co U.s.a.: "For long term cure for bloody noses and even bursting blood vessils eat Jello or Jell-well gelatin every day for 2 weeks. It will probably show benifits in 2 days. Did this treatment 45 years ago and the only bloody nose I've had since was getting hit hard in the nose."

[YEA]  08/24/2007: GT from Vero beach, Florida: "Old chinese meds method of stopping a bloody nose. I have used this many times: Take a snipet of your own hair or someone elses hair. Burn this to ashes, mix with a drop of water into a paste. Apply on top of the nose not in the nose. Bleeding stops in seconds!"

[YEA]  09/25/2007: Tonia from Ten Mile, Tennessee: "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]  06/01/2009: Artemis3044 from Bismrack, ND: "I started having nose bleeds, again. My brother told me to sniff a little cinnamon and that would stop it and clot it. It worked."

[YEA]  08/14/2011: Peter from Koforidua, Ghana. West Africa: "During my school days I could sit out of class for hours with a nose bleed, 3 time a week. I've had my nose cauterised about 8 times, still it bleed. My doctor told me I was making to much blood, when I became 18 go to the blood donors, I did and bingo no more nose bleeds, he did say if it does come through your nose it will come out else where. Before I was 18 I tried many things, ice on the back of the neck, nip the bridge of your nose, nothing worked for me, then someone told me to sniff water up your nose, well I tried it and it worked every time. its not very pleasent, the first few times, but if your out and about, its one way to stop it."

[YEA]  11/28/2009: Kathi from Brooksville, Fl, Usa: "I'm now in my late 50's. When I was a kid I had terrible nosebleeds, a few so bad they required an emergency trip to the doctor. My dad read about vitamin C with rose hips, and started giving that to me. I never had another nosebleed after that. He passed on that info to some other people who's kids had that problem, and it worked for them, as well. You may not be able to find the rose hips, vitamin C with bioflavinoids also works just fine. The bioflavinoids strengthen the blood vessels--this supplement also helps with excessive bruising."

05/03/2011: Grace from Upland, Ca, Usa: "My toddler has been suffering with bloody noses since last year. After getting her nose cauterized last year unsuccessfully I opted to find out more natural ways of curing this problem or at least alleviating it since the cauterization by an ENT specialist was so traumatizing (she was awake). I have a natural remedy book of cures that stated distilled White Vinegar would help to naturally cauterize the broken blood vessel in her nose causing the bloody nose. So I dipped a small piece of cotton ball (enough to tightly fit in her nose) with the White Vinegar and stuck it up her nostril that often bleeds for around 5 minutes. It seems to have worked for around 6 months until she hit her nose again pretty bad. So did this again yesterday after getting another bloody nose. It seems to work but might have to do it more than once. Since it smells strong and burns a little bit she only lets me put it in her nostril for no more than a few minutes. I think they suggested 10-15 minutes for adults. The humidifier at night seems to help as well!! Good luck!"
