A nosebleed (epistaxis) is never a pleasant experience; whether your nosebleed occurs because of hitting your nose in an athletic activity, the dryness associated to winter climates, or use of anti-clotting blood thinner medication, stopping your nosebleed quickly and easily is a priority. Properly used, NoseBudd™ applies cold and pressure only to the areas of the nose where you need it, causing the capillaries in the nose to shrink and the bleeding to stop. To be effective, the NoseBudd is taken from the freezer, held to the nose for 3-4 minutes and activity can be resumed!
