Herbal Remedies for External Bleeding

External bleeding happens when a blood vessel is ruptured because of injury. If the bleeding is excessive and blood loss significant, fainting, shock, and death can occur. Contact a health care practitioner immediately in these situations.

Powdered yarrow leaf, cayenne or St. John's wort oil can be applied directly to a wound as often as needed. If the bleeding continues or is severe, consult a qualified practitioner.
