Use Cornstarch on Bleeding Cuts and Scrapes

A cut or a scrape is bound to happen at some point. Often they're minor; other times, you find yourself bleeding from an open wound and aren't able to make it stop. A typical household item can actually help you control the bleeding in no time. Cornstarch can act as a coagulant and is excellent to use in this scenario. Simply pour a small amount of it onto the surface area of your injury.
