TIP: Heal Cuts with Black Pepper

This is a great way to stop those small cuts and grazes that happen in the kitchen from bleeding everywhere.

First clean the cut. Then elevate the injury and keep a clean paper towel pressed on it. Cover the cut with ground black pepper and a band aid if needed.

The pepper should stop the sting (nope it doesn’t hurt) and help the blood clot. It also has a mild antibacterial action.
