Treating Nose Bleeds

Anyone that suffer with nose bleeds might like to know that you can treat this condition with essential oils, certain herbs, and by ridding yourself of certain environmental irritants. You might know ways to stop a nose bleed. But did you know that you can stop a nose bleed by making a nose plug. A nose plug can be made with essential oils or herbs and a cotton ball.

Based on the reseach of Aromatherapist, Nurse, and Author Valerie Cooksley, a basic nose plug can made as follows:

4 oz of distilled witch hazel
6 drops of cyress essential oil
cotton balls

Combine the witch hazel and cyress essential oils. Be sure to mix well. Moisture the cotton ball with substance and insert into the bleeding nostril. Apply pressure with thumb and index finger to the flexible tissue of the nose, if needed.

Another option might be to make a tea from one of the following herbs, yarrow or St. John's wort and fresh lemon juice. Follow the instructions above to make a nose plug.

If the nose plug won't stop the bleeding, seek medical advice and treament from your healthcare provider ASAP.
