Oatmeal is used to stop itching with psorasis, posion ivy and the like, but i wonder, with its absorbant properties, malibility, and the fact that it will harden over time would make it good for covering wounds to stop the bleeding. Am i wrong?

Never heard of using oatmeal but salt works wonders and has for centuries.

This may sound funny, but if you have a dog let your dog lick your minor cut, watch your cut will go away in less than 48 hours. There something in dog saliva that help heal wounds on human. THIS IS NO JOKE TRY IT AND HIT ME BACK LATER.

Im not sure of that, but I do know that baking soda does spot it, Just pour some on the wound and hold it for a few moments.

I've never heard of using oatmeal...but i've heard of using flour...Flour clots up and helps to stop the bleeding.
