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.

Bloody nose-my son has been blessed with my nose bleeds. After the second one tonight I found your site, my old tricks just weren't working. I tried the cold rag on the neck and pushed on his upper gums at the same time. In less than a minute the bleeding had stopped. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am printing the whole page for future reference.

I tried this and it worked almost immediately. How does that happen?

This is very interesting as the point you're pressing is GV26 (acupuncture/acupressure point). GV stands for "Governing Vessel" and GV 26 is known as "the center of a person" and commonly used for many issues in many emergency rooms outside the scope of the western "medicine" machine.
