Bleeding from the nose is one of the most common problems faced by many people during the summer. Nose bleeding may occur without any prior warnings, even if the weather is extremely cold or due to physical exertion. If you are beyond 50 and are suffering from a bleeding nose, then it is suggested that you get your blood pressure checked. As the increase in the blood pressure ruptures the walls of the blood vessels in the nose, it causes the nose to bleed.
Ayurvedic remedies to cure the bleeding nose problem
Alum treatment
Alum or spatika or phitkari should be pulverized and added to pure cow ghee and this mixture should be used as nasal drops in order to cure nasal bleeding.
Also mix the alum with equal amounts of powdered oak and camphor. Prepare a paste out of them and use them as nasal drops to control the bleeding. This will help you a lot.
Camphor treatment
Take a small piece of camphor and soak it in the juice from coriander leaves and then use these as nasal drops in order to control the bleeding.
Amla treatment
Take 20 grams of amla (gooseberry) and soak them in water one entire night; the next morning consume the amla water (gooseberry water). Prepare a paste from the soaked gooseberry. Apply this paste over the forehead and on the nose.
Red sandal powder treatment
When mixed together, red sandal or rakta-chandana, liquorice or mulethi and cobra’s saffron or naagakesara are known to help solve the problem of nasal bleeding.

Food not to eat
It is recommended to keep away from salty and sour tasting food items in order to prevent the problem of nasal bleeding from being enhanced.
Tender plantain leaves treatment
To control the chronic nose bleeding, prepare a paste using tender plantain leaves, crystal sugar and water. Mix two grams of the plantain leaves with ¼ liters of water and 20 grams of sugar. Consume this mixture at least once everyday in order to get results.
Gulkand treatment
Gulkand is a luscious delicacy from India prepared from the petals of roses. In order to prevent the nose from bleeding, consume one teaspoonful of Gulkand everyday.
Neem juice remedy
The juice of neem leaves can be used as a way to stop nasal bleeding by dropping them in the nostrils.
Ripe figs
Eat ripe figs with either honey or jaggery in order to check the bleeding.
Vasa Avalehyam remedy
Take 1 teaspoon of Vasavaleha. Mix it in a cup of cold milk and take it orally thrice a day. This will control the nasal bleeding. Anu thailam taken in a dose of 2-5 drops in each nostril can also stop the nasal bleeding.
Nasya oil remedy
Nasya oil can be used in controlling nasal bleeding, even though it is primarily used for treating chronic chest congestion and dry sinuses. Warm the oil by immersing the entire bottle containing the oil in a vessel full of hot water. Once you finish warming the oil, apply a couple of drops in the nose. Then, gently tap or massage the outside of the nose, letting the oil enter the sinus passage in order to help moisten it. Apply Nasya oil after rinsing your nose every morning and once again before going to bed at night.
Saltwater treatment
The use of saltwater is one of the most effective Ayurvedic remedies for nasal bleeding. Take half a glass of water. Add some salt to it. Now spray this saltwater inside the nose.
Lemon juice remedy
Lemon juice is also an effective Ayurvedic remedy for treating nasal bleeding. Put one to two drops of lemon juice in the nostril that is bleeding. This will prevent nasal bleeding from occurring again.
Yarrow treatment
Yarrow is very effective in reducing nasal bleeding, since it contains alkaloids, which can control the flow of blood in the nose by helping the blood clot at a speedier rate. Crush some yarrow leaves and make a paste out of it. Apply this paste to the outside of the nose. You can also prepare a roll using yarrow leaves and place it inside your nose. This will also help control nasal bleeding.
Liverwort treatment
Liverwort, which is also commonly known as agrimony, reduces the pain in an individual and also helps prevent nasal bleeding, since it is an astringent. You can also take this herb in the form of an extract.
