How to Stop a Nosebleed

We tried the "thumbs up method" for stopping a nosebleed a few years ago. It was helpful but we recently tried something else and it works great and stops the bleeding within a few minutes. We take a piece of towel (or whatever is available), roll it up so it is about a half inch in diameter, and put it/stuff it up under the upper lip between the lip and the gums above the front teeth. Push it up high and leave it there (holding a towel over the nose) until the bleeding stops. I think that I read that hospitals may use this technique of putting gauze or something under the upper lip.
