My nose bleeds at least 3 times a month. A wet, cold towel or a bottle of cold water at the back of the neck could really stop nose bleed. Been using them for years!

I can affirm this works except I use an icepack instead of a cloth which I'm sure would work equally as well. Also I just apply this to the back of my neck and it almost instantly stops the nose bleed. I think this work because it restricts and then draws the blood elsewhere. In any case it works to stop nose bleeds in progress but am still working on a more permanent cure though I suspect allergies to be the culprit. Sometimes misting the air with a mixture of water alcohol and essential oils is helpful in drawing the allergens to the ground. This also helps nosebleed due to overly dry air.

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.
