Nose Bleed - Epistaxis
http://www.chinesemedicinecure.com/nose-bleed

 The nose is one of the most common places we can bleed from as it has many blood vessels and it protrudes away from the safety of the face.  This section is more situated for non traumatic nose bleeds meaning nose bleeds due to some sort of physical event such as hitting ones nose.  If we are noticing nose bleeds occuring without trauma this section will help offer some natural therapies to possibly cure this condition.

 Nosebleeds (epistaxis, nose bleed) can be dramatic and frightening. Fortunately, most nosebleeds are not serious and usually can be managed at home, although sometimes medical intervention may be necessary. Nosebleeds are categorized based on where they originate, and are described as either anterior (originating from the front of the nose) or posterior (originating from the back of the nose).

Nosebleeds are caused by many factors, but some of the most common causes include the following:

  • picking the nose
  • blowing the nose too hard
  • injury to the nose
  • over-dry air
  • colds and allergies
  • foreign body in the nose
