This stuff really works!I stuck a chefs knife into the anterior region of my thumb it bled for 15 minutes at a worrysome rate a friend applied the powder form directly onto the wound and wrapped it tight after about 5 minutes I checked it and saw that it had stopped bleeding. I now own some of this mixture myself just in case this happens again or someone needs help. I wouldnt hesitate to use this again in the same circumstance it would be a shame if this herbal remedy were not available.
