Ingredients: Your hand, possible chair
Instructions: As I have been getting nose bleeds since i was young
thisw is what i used to do. One never tilt your head back that is the
worse thing to do. I would pinch my nose right at the nasal bone. next i
would sit on a chair and place my head between my legs. Keep the
pressure there for about 5-10 mins and it should clot right up. I have also
tried the tissue up the lip and that helps also.

movie. After they enter the honeymoon suite, Brittany Murphy's nose starts to
bleed. Ashton Kutcher rolls up a piece of tissue and stuck it up her lip right

worked in less than a minute. It may not work this fast for everyone else, but
I'd give it a try.

Ingredients: matches!vaseline OR lip gloss
Instructions: I used to get nose bleeds frequently when I was younger (I am
now 20) and now my younger 7 yr old brother gets them. Fortunately my aunt (who
is a RN) showed me an easy trick. . . .As soon as you feel a nose bleed coming
on get a match and light it,
blow it out and then breathe the smoke up the sideof the nose that is bleeding.
Do this GENTLY, do not sniff hard! That will make it worse! When you do this,
make surethat the smoke goes up your nose. You will be able to tell that it
has because you will have a smokey taste in your throat. . . it's not all that
great but it works! The ingredients in the match help cauterize (sp?) the broken
blood vessel. Sometimes you may have to this twice. But the great thing is that
it will stop the nose bleed almost instantly. You will still have some blood
discharge because of the rest of the blood left trickling down your nose. I
would reccomend not breathing through that side of your nose for a few minutes
also, so that the scab wont be sucked off. Most nose bleeds are caused by a
dry nose, if you apply
either some sort of lip gloss or vaseline to the inside of your nose it also
will help keep it soft and reduce the amount of nose bleeds. Unfortunately this
only works if you are able to do the match trick before your nose begins to
bleed too much, because once it begins to bleed alot the nazal passage is clogged
and the smoke from the match cannot go through the nose.

Ingredients: wet paper towels, icepack
Instructions: I get really bad nosebleeds
(I mean we're talking gushing here) and I'm just a 6th grader!But I've learned
that if I get one during the night, I can take care of it myself without bothering
my parents.Here's what I do: I sit down ON THE FLOOR with my back against the
wall.Then I take a wet paper towel and press it against my nose. while I'm doing
this I have the ice against the back of my neck.
TIPS
1) don't pinch your nose, let it all drain out.
2) keep your head forward so that the blood won't drain down your throat and
make you puke!
3) If it's bad DON'T FREAK OUT!!! I've noticed that this only makes it worse.
(try sing quietly to yourself to keep calm)
4) when it's stoped DON'T SNIFFLE! the reason that you get nosebleeds(atleast
the kind that I get: sinus) is that the caplilaries in your sinuses break. If
you sniffle you will break them open again.

that I couldn't stop. My Grandfather took a mouthful of water from a glass,
pursed his lips and sprayed a fine layer of water into my face. He aimed for

stopped as the water hit me. He told me it was an old Chinese remedy. It works.

good it was to sniff salt water up the nose.I remembered this after about 6
years of trying the doctor's remedies including steroids without success.I emptied
a Vick nasal syringe of its contents and refilled with a strong solution of
table salt.Squirt this up the nose while sniffing, and then just let it run
down into the basin.After all its just like swimming in the sea so it can't
hurt you.

Instructions: One of my mentors taught my brother that if he sticks some lettuce
up his nose, it'll help stop the nose bleed. My brother gets bloody noses all
the time, but after that, he hasn't had one for a few months.
One time I was at Disney World with my family when a baby in a baby carriage had a nose bleed while were waiting on line for food. My mother was helping the babies mother when a nice young woman took the babies hand and put the babies index finger in between the babies middle finger and thumb, and the babies nosebleed stopped, she explained how this is a form of acupressure and how this helps stop the nosebleed by allowing less bloodflow to the nasal area .I hope this helps
We live in Las Vegas, and
when I 1st moved here each year when it was
really hot & dry combined with hot winds I'd get nose bleeds. Nothing cured
this tendency to have them until I started dipping a wad moistened toilet paper
into powdered cayenne pepper and putting it up my nose. I found this would cure
my tendency for nose bleeds as I haven't had a nose bleed in years here in Vegas,
& I've been living here for over 30 years. FYI; In reading about the benefits
of cayenne pepper I learned cayenne strengthens capillary walls. thus I cured
my nose bleeds not just treating the symptoms of my recurrent nose bleeds!

Thank you. For the
nose bleed information. I had a very very bad nosebleed and I wanted to have
an ambulance take me to the hospital but my mom found ur website and used a
cure. Thank your soo much. Oh yes and further your should put up a warning
on the nosebleed section to not take Advil, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, or aspirin,
during a nosebleed or after one, because it thins the blood and makes clotting
of the blood take longer. (therefore losing more blood)KEEP UP THE EXELENT WORK

my mom would come in to check on me and my pillow would be blood soaked from
my nosebleeding and me not waking up in time. Well the nosebleeds have continued
to be severe. Sometimes they stop when the blood clot is pulledout, I always
thought it would make it worse but it actually stops it.
But if you want the nosebleed to stop within 10 minutes then take a square of
paper towel and roll it up and stick it up the nostril that is bleeding then
when both hands are free, hold ice on the back of your
neck and on the bridge of you're nose. I hope this works for you!

Hi my name
is Richard and I have nose bleeds alot that use to last forhours on end.....
BUT NOT NOW..... I found a cure that is safe and works....all you do is when
you have a bloody nose just hold you weak rist ( the
one youdon't write with ) and put it under some cold running tap water.....
it
usally takes about 2-3 minutes for this to work.... what happenes is the cold
water thickens the blood
thus making it easier to clot... Hope this works...

As with most vascular weaknesses the first culprit is a deficiency of vitamin
C. You will find that folks who get bloody noses
repeatedly also bruise very easily (and likely are more susceptible to colds
as well) That should be a big clue. Vitamin C must be the sort that has bioflavinoids
in it which means it has rosehips or citurs bioflavinoids which are found naturally
in the pith betweent he fruit and the skin nature knows this but chemists and
ascorbic acid obviously don't! Trader Joes has a great C and so does Ester C
but this is more expensive. Any adult really should take 2-3000 mgs daily with
the quality of most cities air these days as it is an antioxidant, and you can
go up to 10,000mgs a day with no problem the sign to back off that your body
has reached its personal limit is the onset of a looser stool. Plain simple
harmless you pee out the excess no bad side effects! Also to build vascular
system one can purchase a great product called ALTA it is silica made from the
herb HORSETAIL this will not only strengthen one's veins and arteries but strenghten
your nails and hair (from where it gets its layman's term....as healthy and
thick as a HORSETAIL)
Dear Ms Gaer,
Here is one for nosebleeds....
When I was a child all the way into adulthood I also experienced many
nosebleeds. My mom would tell me to run in bathroom, get bathroom
tissue,
roll it thick enough and long enough to go under upper lip while
pinching
your nose. The nosebleeds almost disappeared within minutes. It works
like
a charm. Good luck to all.

Ingredients: popsicle
Instructions: I am 15 and I have Von Willebrand's disease...this is a disease
where the glue that holds blood clots in place are missing from my body, I have
bloody noses that last for hours and hours, normal remedies don't work but these,
as i have learned from the hemophilia
treatment center,do.When you have a bloody nose just eat a popsicle, the bleeding
should stop within minutes. Also if u take neo-synefrine (found in most drugstores)
and put some on cotton balls, then you put in up your nose and just leave it
there. Wait like 2 or 3 hours or else the cotton ball will still be attached
to the cotton, and when you wait, it just comes out and you don't have bloody
noses for awhile!

I have basially gotten bloody noses for
my entire life, and now I am 19. ever since I was a little kid, when my nose
started to bleed my mother would always drench a cotton ball with Vaseline,
and shove it up my nose, that way, the tissue in my nostrils were being moistened
and the pressure would cause the bleeding to stop and form to a clot. Now that
I am older in order for me to prevent dry nostrils and a constant flow of blood
from my nose, everynight before I go to bed, I smother a Q-tip in vaseline and
then line my inner most dry nostril(s) with vaseline, so my nose is good and
moist until the next day, and I repeat this once everynight.

When you get a nosebleed, take some cayenne pepper right away. Red pepper, or chile pepper, or tabasco sauce will do. Take about a teaspoonful. Your nosebleed should stop within 5 minutes or less. Take cayenne pepper every day for the next few days or so, and try to eat foods spiced with cayenne pepper on a more regular basis. Cayenne pepper acts to stop all kinds of bleeding very quickly, you can even pour it directly onto a wound in an emergency. It helps keep vitamin C in the body longer. Vitamin C helps keep blood vessels strong. If you stop taking large dosages of vitamin C, you can get rebound scurvy, which can make bleeding worse. Cayenne pepper prevents this from happening. Green Vegetables are a source of vitamin K, which is also needed in trace amounts by the body to stop bleeding. Putting vaseline in the nose can help prevent nosebleeds from recurring during that time when the nose needs to heal after you have recently had a nosebleed. Things to avoid, which can cause excessive bleeding: asperine, alcohol, both of which thin the blood.
