How to stop the bleeding:
Sit or stand so that your head is above your heart
Lean your head forward and pinch your nostrils together just below the bony part of the nose, apply the pressure for a few minutes
Place a cold compress (with water or crushed ice) on the area around the nose
Also claimed that applying pressure with cotton pad inside the upper lip will stop the bleeding
IMPORTANT: Some cultures believe(d) that nose bleed is effectively treated by leaning the head backward and/or applying a cold compress on the neck – this is NOT an advisable technique, the blood will run into the stomach and you will feel sick
