Home Remedies to Stop Bleeding

My dog got groomed yesterday and they cut his nail too short. They put some stuff on it and said if it keeps bleeding to put some baking soda on it. While researching I kept seeing information on using corn starch to stop bleeding. People use all sorts of stuff to stop bleeding besides band-aids. I read an article that said to use Vaseline but I think that would prevent healing because the Vaseline would keep air from getting to the wound. I could be wrong but I have always let a cut “breathe” as part of the healing process.

Home Remedies to stop bleeding- suggested but not all tried and verified.

What else have you used or heard of to stop a cut from bleeding?

 

Spider webs.

 

Gun cleaning patch and duct tape.

 

There is no substitute for a container of blood stop on the shelf.

 

Couple of natural ones on this list, including salt and cayenne pepper.

Duct tape.

 

Electrical tape always worked out on the job. And always seems to keep the cut from drying out.

 

I've used ground black pepper on myself, and on the dogs finger nail when he got distracted trying to dig out a ground hog.

 

If you put tape directly on a cut, doesn't the tape remove the scab when you remove the tape? Or does tape easily come off with water and leaves the scab?

 

I have wound seal/stop bleed in my bag. While I was at my Stop the Bleed class the guy teaching the class said that the stop bleed is dangerous and told us to throw it away. He said it travels into other parts of the body. I have researched but cannot find any information backing his statement up.

 

I use cornstarch on the dog works great Human get quick clot or the like if needed or pressure bandage

 

Newskin glue
Super glue

Vasoline will heal cuts fast

 

Haven't tried it externally, but a damp tea bag works to stem bleeding from tooth extractions...probably due to the tannic acid.

 

I've mixed honey and cayenne pepper into a paste as a bleed stopper and to pack wounds with infection. I've used it for cavities left by infection as well.

All this on pets and livestock. I haven't had a wound applicable since learning this trick. It cases no discomfort to the animals, btw

 

Cayenne pepper is the best I have used. Alum, used it today.

 

Yeah, but most guys are tough. I'm not talking about Millennials here, though. They break a nail and fall to pieces.

 

@Brokor, the link isn't working.

For me, this is an excellent thing to learn. I am planning a trip to Vietnam, fairly soon.

 

Link didn't work for me either.
