I still mix cream of tartar in water to flush out my system.....i feel better afterwards

 

I use cream of tartar to clean impossibly baked on food in my pots and pans. Works like a charm.

 

Still does in your old age.

 

My grandmother had a bad scar on her shin. She told me when she was a teenager she was using an ax, accidentally hit her leg with it, and it started bleeding badly. Her mother was out in the field with her, and plopped a glob of chewing tobacco on it to stop the bleeding. I guess it must have worked.

 

Corn starch is also very good for stopping bleeding. Example - a nosebleed.

 

Supposedly you can use cobwebs to stop bleeding. I learned that from people who raise goats. . I have plenty of those (spiderwebs, not goats). .

Ever run into one (a spider web, not a goat) accidentally and try to get it off? Or try to get it off your broom?

I don't know how you would ever transfer it from your hands to a wound.

 

I have heard of this before. I think there is a medicinal property associated with pure tobacco in topical use.
Not that I would want to chew any just to stop the bleeding.

 

@Beth Gallagher I wonder what it is about running into a spider web that makes us go all nutsy......even when there is no spider in sight.

 

@Lois Winters , tell me how you do that?

 

My grand dad called it monkey blood.

 

Never heard of that..useful info..tnx

 

Never heard this one either. Do you eat it ?
I do know placing index finger up under the front gum line will stop the bleed.

 

No, you use tissue or a Q-tip and apply to the spot that's bleeding and apply pressure for a minute or so.
It worked better for me than any of the other things.

 

I merely mix it with some warm water pour it in the pan and let it sit for a couple of hours. Voila, nice and clean.
