Lamb's Ears

It is allergy season and my nose gets a workout. Apparently, at some point in the night, I scratched my nose and created a small nick-like abrasion on my nostril-exterior skin. It is small, but located where a band-aid would not work. At any rate, a few minutes ago I must have scratched it again and it started bleeding. It was bleeding quite a bit for the size of the nick, obviously the vessels were near the skin surface. I went into the bathroom, and tore off a piece of toilet paper. After several pieces of TP and direct pressure, it was still bleeding, so I tried the styptic pencil. It continued to bleed. At that point it had been bleeding for over 5 minutes with no sign of abatement. I then remembered a recent discussion about lambs ears, so I donned boots and went out to pick a leaf. During the 120 foot walk from the backdoor to the plant, I dabbed the blood twice with TP; it was still bleeding at the same rate, creating a pea sized blood spot on the tissue both times. I'd say it takes about 20 seconds, if that, to walk the distance. I grabbed a small leaf, about 2 inches long, and put it on the wound. Before I could get back to the house, I removed the leaf and did not see blood. Sure enough, in less than 100 feet of walking, or about 10 seconds of exposure, the nick quit bleeding. In addition, the leaf acted as a sponge, and when I removed the leaf from my nose, I could see no blood on the leaf. It has been 15 minutes now, and my nose is still not bleeding-not even a little bit. It is amazing. Next time I will try it immediately. Good stuff, and once again, herbs to the rescue.
