The best home remedy for controlling bleeding is to do a direct compression on the wound using a gauze or a clean cloth and apply a crushed ice pack on top as this will decrease the blood output by decreasing the caliber of the region's blood vessels.
However, if the wound is deep and the blood continues to flow, it is important to call an ambulance or take the person to the hospital immediately.
A very old home remedy to control bleeding, which should not be used, is to put a little coffee powder or sugar into the wound. This is contraindicated as it can make it difficult to clean the wound or to infect and cause more suffering to the individual during the dressing.
