Bloody Nose Remedies

WARNING!

I started having a light nosebleed last spring, I-4 times. It subsided and began this past March 2015, but got heavier. My PC finally referred me to "ENT" after I pressed the issue of something being wrong. I'm not a smoker or use alcohol, etc. My intake has been healthy for years, this shouldn't be happening. I visited an "ENT" (ear, nose, throat) physician today. The visit was much needed; the doctor found that I had one enlarged blood-vessel in my right nostril. The doctor performed treatment, then sealed/capped the vessel. Dryness causes the vessel to enlarge.

There are many causes of nosebleeds, don't diagnose your condition! If anyone suffers with this agitation, please, get to an "ENT" clinic or inform your PC so he/she can refer you.

Pay attention to your body changes. Don't delay your health!

God Bless :)

15 days after the last cauterization (above post), I had #2 cauterization by a different ENT (#1 doc out of town) due to a nose bleed on the 12th day after #1. Big difference. He numbed both nostrils, noticed that the vessel hadn't actually been cauterized, provided me with a sheet of Do's (frequent applications of saline solution, a saline gel, humidifer and I hope EC will allow the nose spray Afrin to be mentioned to stop any potential bleeds over the next 10 days, sneeze with mouth open, barely barely blow and acetaminophen if needed; and Don'ts (bend over, heavy exercise, avoid alcohol and anything that dehydrates the body). No excruciating headache; teeth, roof of mouth, side of cheek didn't hurt, no drowning sensation, and my nose wasn't blackened by the chemical. I actually wore a mask for the first week after #1 because the outside of my nose looked like caked-on blood. #1 doc didn't have any reasons for enlarge blood vessels; #2 said it was due to dryness. The latter is now my ENT.

Since I was 13 I have been having nosebleeds due to a hereditary disease called HHT, Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia, also known as Osler Weber Rendu syndrome. Primarily the symptoms are nosebleeds, however there are complications internally which have no symptoms. These telangiectasias or vascular malformations can be located in the lungs, brain, liver or gi tract. They are known as AVM's. I have been successful with using the ice pack method applied in the neck to stop the nosebleed. I have also taken cold orange juice at the onset and it helps stop the bleeding. The cayenne pepper has been the best because it prevents having the nosebleed and if I do have one its duration is very short. I would like to recommend anyone that has frequent nosebleeds especially if it is in the family to check out more info on HHT. This disorder is "more than a nosebleed". Thanks for all the great information on your site.

A few yrs ago I had periodic nose bleeds particularly in the dry winter. Applying Cod Liver Oil directly over the entire surface of the nose a few times proved totally successful as I have had no recurrence to date.

For long term cure for bloody noses and even bursting blood vessils eat Jello or Jell-well gelatin every day for 2 weeks. It will probably show benifits in 2 days. Did this treatment 45 years ago and the only bloody nose I've had since was getting hit hard in the nose.

My toddler has been suffering with bloody noses since last year. After getting her nose cauterized last year unsuccessfully I opted to find out more natural ways of curing this problem or at least alleviating it since the cauterization by an ENT specialist was so traumatizing (she was awake). I have a natural remedy book of cures that stated distilled White Vinegar would help to naturally cauterize the broken blood vessel in her nose causing the bloody nose. So I dipped a small piece of cotton ball (enough to tightly fit in her nose) with the White Vinegar and stuck it up her nostril that often bleeds for around 5 minutes. It seems to have worked for around 6 months until she hit her nose again pretty bad. So did this again yesterday after getting another bloody nose. It seems to work but might have to do it more than once. Since it smells strong and burns a little bit she only lets me put it in her nostril for no more than a few minutes. I think they suggested 10-15 minutes for adults. The humidifier at night seems to help as well!! Good luck!

I'm now in my late 50's. When I was a kid I had terrible nosebleeds, a few so bad they required an emergency trip to the doctor. My dad read about vitamin C with rose hips, and started giving that to me. I never had another nosebleed after that. He passed on that info to some other people who's kids had that problem, and it worked for them, as well. You may not be able to find the rose hips, vitamin C with bioflavinoids also works just fine. The bioflavinoids strengthen the blood vessels--this supplement also helps with excessive bruising.

Every winter since I was little I would get bloody noses because of the dry indoor air. Last winter it was bad. I was having at least one a day no matter how much I ran my humidifier. I came across this site and read about Cayenne Pepper helping with this problem. The day I started taking Cayenne Pepper pills was the last time I had a bloody nose! (It has been almost a year now) I take one in the morning with my vitamins and dont worry about my nose exploding every time I sneeze. Try it, you wont be disappointed!

I got bloody noses my whole childhood, particularly due to change of weather. The solution that always worked for me was to put an ice pack or couple of ice cubes wrapped in a tea towel to the side of the nose and wrap the rest of the nose in a tissue or the tea towel to soak up the blood. I suppose it made the veins retract. Either way it always worked.

I can affirm this works except I use an icepack instead of a cloth which I'm sure would work equally as well. Also I just apply this to the back of my neck and it almost instantly stops the nose bleed. I think this work because it restricts and then draws the blood elsewhere. In any case it works to stop nose bleeds in progress but am still working on a more permanent cure though I suspect allergies to be the culprit. Sometimes misting the air with a mixture of water alcohol and essential oils is helpful in drawing the allergens to the ground. This also helps nosebleed due to overly dry air.

Cayenne works to stop bleeding pretty much anywhere. Amazing spice that works, thanks to EC and their contributors!

Bloody nose-my son has been blessed with my nose bleeds. After the second one tonight I found your site, my old tricks just weren't working. I tried the cold rag on the neck and pushed on his upper gums at the same time. In less than a minute the bleeding had stopped. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am printing the whole page for future reference.

This is very interesting as the point you're pressing is GV26 (acupuncture/acupressure point). GV stands for "Governing Vessel" and GV 26 is known as "the center of a person" and commonly used for many issues in many emergency rooms outside the scope of the western "medicine" machine.

Anterior nosebleeds began in the Fall when blowing my nose. Tried humidifiers, and a creme the Dr prescribed that caused them to be more severe (still not bad but more than a little blood like before). I read that ayurvedic medicine recommends Sesame Oil.

Started about 2 weeks ago, applying 3-4 times/day and definitely at night. No bleeds! This week I got a little confidant and was only applying 1-2/day. The bleed returned.

Will try the little tabs and tomato juice mentioned in Bruce's electrolyte post from 2017. Thanks!

Nose bleeds, use Vicks brand ointment on Q tip in the nose to keep from being dry or chapped. Make sure foods or medicines are not thinning your blood too much. Many spices and foods are blood thinners. Water and mineral salt balance affects mucus and blood thickness. I used to drink lots of water but not much salt. I learned the hard way. Most minerals have a salt form. I'm still learning. : )

Thanks Charity & Jewel, I tried the BMS and assessed foods and spices. It turned out to be an enlarge blood vessel. If there's anyone out there who has suggestions on how to avoid in the future, please post!

I was dealing with some kind of nose condition I never had in my life. Blood and what ever at the back of my nose. If I blew my nose. Or cleaned it, blood would come on the Kleenex. All this started at the beginning of February. I tried cleaning nostrils with water and hydrogen peroxide, iodine mixed in water and even using some antibiotic ointment. They slowed things down, but did not heal the condition, maybe eventually it would have healed. About 2 days ago I decided to give the baking soda molasses cure a go to see if it could help with this. I drank about ¼ cup 3 times yesterday. Today no bleeding, Praise The Lord!

Here is a YouTube video that shows how to make it.

I was left wondering the same thing, so I looked up & found an article that explains what to look for in such a product, & how to recognize those that are inferior:

Like you, I started experiencing very light anterior nosebleeds Oct 2020. Got better while in a humid location. Returned and the bleeds began again. The ENT diagnosed an enlarged blood vessel and chemically cauterized it today. My sinuses are so stuffed, I can't swallow without feeling like I'm drowning much less breathe. Miserable. Any thoughts on how to calm the sinuses? Not allowed to blow for 2 long weeks. Thinking out loud here but what happens if sneezing occurs? Wouldn't the pressure be worse than blowing? :-(

BTW - I tried castor oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, coconut oil with tea tree, colloidal silver, ACV and cayenne paste. Guessing none worked due to it being an enlarged blood vessel which the doc said was big about the size of a lentil.

At the moment applying arnica on the outside and aloe vera on the outside and opening of the nostril. Skin alread raw from nasal drip.

Thanks Mama, I tried everything but noticed when in humid climates Jan-Feb, there weren't any issues and no dry scab inside my nose. It must be because Colorado is dry (we run 2 humidifiers full time). I had a body check by a dermatologist and she gave me a few mini tubes of Aquaphor. It's been magic that has kept the area moist and seems to have allowed time to thicken the scar tissue. I apply first thing in the AM and before bed. It's also helped our 5 yr old grandson who was always with a bloody nose. Poor little guy was picking because he says, "something's in there and I'm just trying to get it out", but ended up bleeding. (I tried EVOO, Coconut, Jojoba, Almond, Castor oils, vaseline, Ayr, Afrin to no avail.) Blessings to you all.

During my school days I could sit out of class for hours with a nose bleed, 3 time a week. I've had my nose cauterised about 8 times, still it bleed. My doctor told me I was making to much blood, when I became 18 go to the blood donors, I did and bingo no more nose bleeds, he did say if it does come through your nose it will come out else where. Before I was 18 I tried many things, ice on the back of the neck, nip the bridge of your nose, nothing worked for me, then someone told me to sniff water up your nose, well I tried it and it worked every time. its not very pleasent, the first few times, but if your out and about, its one way to stop it.

That area of the lip is called a vestibule (like the gutter) in the mouth. Some times the attachement tissue from free lip to gum wall (frenum) can make it hard for some to place a roll of anything in there to stop bleeding. I used a cold gel pack on the back, base of my neck to stop a nosebleed, works fast!

What electrolyte tablets are you using and where do you get them?

NUUN

Just used the coconut oil for my son's dry sinuses (which caused frequent bloody noses). It was very soothing and helpful, much more than saline solution.

Hi Donna

Amazing! Thank God for resolve to stop the nosebleeds. I'm certain that your daughter is over-joyed! I'm so glad to view your post on a home remedy, "Witch Hazel" to stop nose bleeding.A Nosebleed can be very embarrassing and irritating, especially when it occurs suddenly, out-of-nowhere.

B-Blessed~~~

In addition to Witchazel, I cured recurring or frequent nosebleeds w/ one or two topical applications of Cod Liver Oil, indicating a Vit-A deficiency (also started taking A-gelcaps). Eggs & Butter are the two main sources of naturally occurring or preformed Vit-A.

Hi guys, My sinuses were thinned out as a child from years on the ventilin mask and my nose used to bleed heavily all the time until I was a teenager. You can squeeze your nostril for a while and roll some kleenex and put it in your nose and wait for it to stop. Also what really worked for me is getting my nose cauterized by the doctor. I wish I had gotten that earlier. Now my nose doesnt bleed anymore, I might get a little bit of blood in my snot but thats it. You guys should try it it really works. My nose went from bleeding once a week or so to 0-1 times a year.

On a FULL stomach - finely cut up a clove of garlic (raw is the only way I do this) swallow it down. (I put it on a spoon and add a bit of syrup on top & drink it down with milk. That Ends my nosebleeds.

Note: If your stomach starts to burn then you did not have enough food in to be a sponge from the acid in the garlic. So then just quickly eat bread and sip milk till it goes away. (I have done this before! ) milk coats the stomach and the bread is a great sponge.

Yes, I learned this the hard way- NEVER eat raw garlic on an empty stomach. I just lost all my breakfast and vitamins I took after eating raw garlic, first. Should have been last!

Another site says stop taking garlic and cayenne for nose bleeds.

COLD WASHCLOTH for NOSEBLEEDS:

I have put a cold washcloth on my neck and upper spine and face, the bleeding stopped in 30 seconds along with direct pressure at the side of the nose. I was very surprised.

I was told by a doctor that dropping a set of keys down the back of your shirt will stop a nosebleed. Supposedly the cold or sensation causes blood vessel constriction. This is where I got the idea for the washcloth.

I tried this and it worked almost immediately. How does that happen?

Old chinese meds method of stopping a bloody nose. I have used this many times: Take a snipet of your own hair or someone elses hair. Burn this to ashes, mix with a drop of water into a paste. Apply on top of the nose not in the nose. Bleeding stops in seconds!
