Apply pressure and elevate
Apply firm pressure directly on the cut, and elevate the injured area above the level of the heart to help reduce blood flow and promote clotting.
Use ice
Before applying ice, cover it with a clean cloth to the cut to squeeze blood vessels and reduce bleeding. Open wounds, cuts, and nosebleeds can all be treated with ice.
Apply Tea
Apply a cooled, damp tea bag directly to the cut, utilising the tannins to help constrict blood vessels, reduce bleeding, and promote the clotting process.
Use Yarrow
Apply yarrow powder or leaves on the cut; it helps in clotting. Yarrow's astringent properties tighten the skin and help close wounds.
Dab witch hazel to tighten tissues
Witch hazel's astringent properties help stop bleeding in minor cuts by tightening the skin, promoting blood clots, and reducing blood supply to the affected area.
Support healing with Vitamin C and zinc
It helps to boost immunity and helps in fast recovery. You can have fruits and vegetables like oranges, peppers, strawberries, potatoes, broccoli, avocados, blackberries, spinach, mushrooms, peas, etc.
