Q. I have enjoyed reading about home remedies on your Web site and would like to share mine. Dip a bleeding (cut-nicked-sliced or whatever) finger in ground coffee and the bleeding stops. If after the first dip, it still shows some blood, dip it in again and bandage it.
A Lebanese friend told me that it is used all the time in his home. Maybe it’s the caffeine. Regardless, it has always worked for me.
A. Thanks for surprising us with a brand new home remedy for minor cuts. We have collected several others, including ground black pepper, cayenne pepper and ground sage.

It is also used in India. My mom always used it on us when we were little.
The headline says "coffee grounds" and the article says "ground coffee." Which is it? "Grounds" usually means what's left after coffee has been brewed, whereas ground coffee is made from dry, unused beans.
PEOPLE'S PHARMACY RESPONSE: THE READER DID NOT SAY WHETHER IT WAS BEFORE OR AFTER THE COFFEE HAS BEEN USED TO MAKE COFFEE. WE BET ON GROUND COFFEE INSTEAD OF COFFEE GROUNDS.
This really works!! I just punctured my pointer finger fairly deeply with a fillet knife, and while bleeding profusely, had my skeptical husband coat the wound with coffee grounds. This "weird" but effective treatment made believers out of this household!
I remember using ground coffee (dry) when I was a child. When I came to this country and used it on my child, my American husband freaked out! That was a long time ago.
This is true, dry grounds do stop bleeding on small cuts my mom used it all the time while I was young and now I do the same, it works as weird as it sounds and looks lol!
