How to stop your nose from bleeding

1/3

Epistaxes, the medical term for a bleeding nose, is caused mainly due to the drying of the nasal membranes and nose picking. The nose is one of the most sensitive parts of the body, as it’s lined with hundreds of blood vessels and upon little provocation, may start to bleed. Though not a serious problem, unless you’re bleeding profusely, nosebleeds can be treated at home using these simple hacks:

Onions
The fumes of an onion play the role of a blood-clotting agent and can stop your nose from bleeding. Additionally, it contains vitamin C and bio-flavonoids, which strengthen the capillaries, making them less susceptible to bleeding. After cutting an onion into two, gently place one half under your nose and inhale the fumes. Do this for a few minutes. Read More

Coriander
The cooling and soothing properties of coriander help stop bleeding by balancing the pressure of blood in the vessels. It is also a natural antihistamine and helps ward off allergies that may cause nosebleeds. Using a dropper, apply 2-3 drops either of coriander oil or fresh juice into the inner linings of your nose.
