Home Remedies for Nose Bleeding

Each one of us has had a nose bleed at some point of time or another. Infact, this is a very common ailment in people, though it's mostly children who are seen to suffer from it more frequently. The nose lining contains various tiny blood vessels that tend to bleed quite easily. And there are a number of reasons responsible for encouraging a nose bleed in people.

Nose bleeds are often the result of common events, usually trauma, but nose bleeds can be a warning of other problems. Nose bleeds are caused by a small blood vessel rupturing. There are two main types of nose bleed, upper and lower septum nose bleeds.

In children, many doctors feel that nasal drying is a common cause of nose bleeds. Nasal drying is common in the winter during cold dry weather and in the summer with air-conditioning. If due to nasal drying, nose bleeds can sometimes be prevented by placing KY Jelly about 0.5 inches into the nose using a Q-tip. This should be done two to four times a day. Placing a humidifier in the home will also help. However, this will also promote the growth of molds and other allergens. Do not use Vaseline. Vaseline is petroleum-based and thus will dry, not moisten the nose.

Bleeding from the nose originating from sites other than the nasal mucosa is a common and serious occurrence in all species but particularly in the horse because of its implication for safety while racing. The passage of large amounts of blood suddenly is usually associated with pulmonary hemorrhage and is often fatal in horses and cattle. In horses this usually occurs during hard exercise. When the bleeding in the horse occurs at rest the origin is commonly from the guttural pouch and due to mycotic erosion of the blood vessels there.

Home Remedies for Nose Bleeding
  • To stop a nosebleed pinch the nose firmly (but not hard) at the bridge of your nose just below the bone. Do NOT lie down or tilt the head back, as this makes the blood go down your throat and will make you sick to your stomach. Hold this pinch for 2 -3 minutes until bleeding stops. Do NOT blow your nose. This will blow the clot out and make it start bleeding again.
  • Apple cider vinegar is useful in getting a nosebleed to stop. Apple cider vinegar safeguards the body from loss of blood. Soak a small cotton ball in the vinegar and pack it lightly into the nostril. The vinegar will help the blood to congeal.
  • Put a drop of lemon juice in your nostrils. Place a wet towel on the head. It will stop nose bleeding.
  • Every time you breathe in air, it the job of the nose to ensure that the air that reaches lungs is well humidified. As such, when your surroundings are dry, your nose has to work extra hard. So it's advised that you humidify the air with a good air humidifier.
  • Goldenseal Another herbal remedy is to make a tea from goldenseal using one teaspoon to a pint of boiling water. Steep a few minutes, let settle, and, when cold, snuff some into your nostrils. Do this several times during the day to prevent recurrence.
  • Take equal parts of Red sandalwood (Rakta Chandan), liquorice (Yashtimadhu) and Naagakesara and make a fine powder out of them. Add 2-3 pinches of this powder in a glass of milk and take it.
Before you begin to stop the nose bleed, blow your nose once forcefully. This will blow out any clot that is keeping the blood vessel in the nose lining open. Once the clot is out, the flexible fibers around that minute opening in the nose will itself contract.

Home Remedies to Cure Sinus Problem

Even acute sinus infections can lead to severe pain to the sufferer. These infections are caused because of inflammation and swelling of cavities that are present within the nose area. The cavities are called sinuses while the infection caused in them is commonly known as sinusitis. These infections can be either chronic or even acute. Chronic sinus infections require several months to be cured in comparison to the acute sinusitis. For people suffering from such severe sinus infections, natural sinus treatments are considered to be the most suitable.

The cavities present inside the nose bones help in giving shape to the face and protecting the skull. Inflammation or swelling in the membranes causes the mucus to get trapped inside the sinuses leading to severe pain. There are many natural treatments to cure sinusitis as well as the pain that is caused because of this infection. For instance, if someone is suffering from sinus infections, one can inhale some steam through vaporizer. Inhaling steam turns the mucus thin, making it a lot easier to remove it out of your system. Applying a warm wet towel on the face would also provide great relief in the condition.

You can soothe the area of your forehead by applying some paste of cinnamon powder and water. Ginger can be the substitute ingredient than can be used in place of cinnamon in this soothing paste. Kitchen ingredients like ginger and mustard seeds work exactly as stimulants which further help in speeding up mucus circulation and also help in clearing the uncomfortable nasal congestion. Also, drinking grape juice and eating jalapenos are believed to be highly effective in treating sinusitis symptoms. Also, inhaling steam produced by warming up the eucalyptus oil acts as a useful remedy for improving de-congestion.

In addition, drinking plenty of warm fluids such as green tea, mint tea, lemon tea, soups, broths etc are also quite beneficial for the sinusitis patient. If you find it extremely hard to deal with the excruciating pain that comes with this medical condition, consuming the mixture of water and cider vinegar made from apple can be a miraculous sinus home remedy for you. However, if the pain doesn't subside, you can discontinue the use of this treatment and try some of the other natural treatments to cure sinusitis discussed above. If the flavor of this mixture doesn't appeal to your taste buds, you can choose to inhale vapors coming out from the cider vinegar's bottle. All these treatments are extremely simple yet very safe and effective. So, go ahead and get relieved from sinusitis with a suitable sinus treatment sitting at home.
