Vitamin K and...: Interesting question.Turmeric is considered to be a blood thinner if ingested. However, it is widely used in folk medicine topically to stop bleeding in wounds & apparently works quite well for this. Turmeric contains vitamin k, which supports coagulation. It has many other constituents, some of which obviously help stop bleeding & are thus coagulating, but not sure if they've been identified yet.

Pressure: Compression of the bleeding site would be more effective. Turmeric has mild anti-infective activity but is not a pro-coagulant.
