Stopped Bleeding With Cayenne


This is my incredible story regarding home remedies!
I found out the hard way that Cayenne pepper or cayenne liquid extract  is a great way to stop bleeding !



It all started when I bought a new chopping knife that was razor sharp.







As I was cutting tomatoes for our salad,  I accidentally sliced my finger,
Immediately, blood gushing out before I even knew what happened.



Instinctively, I pressed my thumb against the sliced flesh and pressed hard to stop the flow of blood.
My strategy worked as long as I didn't remove my thumb. When I let go, the blood began to gush again . I  tried wrapping my finger in paper towel and pressed hard on the finger.
 Results: Red , bloody, paper towel . I couldn't get the blooding to stop.

 I had a friend over who said, " you've got to stop that bleeding." "If it doesn't stop soon , you may need to get stitches".


 I decided to call my holistic practitioner who told me that he uses Cayenne  Liquid Extract or I could use regular powdered cayenne ( the spice)  to stop bleeding.

Remarkably, I had a small bottle of Cayenne  Liquid Extract in a dropper bottle in the house.
I applied it to the underneath cut part of the skin.
It burned like the Dickens, but the bleeding slowed down.
I applied it again and the bleeding slowed down even more.

Finally after the 4th application , the bleeding actually stopped! It was within 5 minutes!

Yes, I said STOPPED!!~

I couldn't believe it. That was half hour ago .. Now I'm using the finger to type.



That's my story.

This liquid Cayenne is staying in my medicine closet.

I did a little research to find out about Cayenne has qualities that help blood to clot.

PS- Yes, I had to discard the chopped tomatoes - there was probably blood in them too...

  3. I never heard of this or of cayenne being able to stop the bleeding. But it's definitely something I'll remember next time I chop my finger (which will happen sooner or later!)
