My Granny taught me this--it works EVERY time. Only other comment is that any paper product folded up works too. The thicker the better (thus brown paper bag). It you make it about 1/8"- ~4mm thick, it works. Must be place tight against gum/lip just under your nose.
FOR NOSE BLEEDS. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU TAKE A SMALL PIECE OF A BROWN PAPER BAG, ROLL IT UP AND STICK IT UNDER THE ROOT OF YOUR MOUTH (UNDER THE FRONT GUM OF YOUR MOUTH) IT WILL STOP THE NOSE BLEED.
