Ever suffered from an epistaxis? You probably have — that’s the medical name for a nosebleed. And while nosebleeds are usually more annoying than painful, you want to stop them as soon as possible so you don’t, you know, bleed all over the place. Here’s what a doctor from Harvard Medical School suggests.

Start by tilting your head forward so you stop blood from flowing down your throat.

Place your thumb and index finger on either side of the bridge of your nose.

Slide them down to the “drop off” where the bone gives way to cartilage, and pinch.

Hold with a little pressure until the bleeding stops. You may have to adjust where your fingers are until you find it.
