4 Ways to Stop Nosebleed at Home
A nosebleed can be scary. Fortunately, nosebleeds are not serious so you don’t have to panic. But the sight of blood dripping down the nose can be a little unappealing! So, when you see blood spewing out of a nose, just relax and quickly tackle it with one of the steps from below.
1. White vinegar
An easy home remedy for nose bleeding is white vinegar. Dip a cotton ball in white vinegar and place it in your bleeding nostrils for about ten minutes. The acid in the vinegar helps to restrict the blood vessels and thus, stops the bleeding.
2. Freshly cut onion
Onions contain sulfur. Sulfur acts as a blood thickening agent which is essential for stopping a nosebleed. To constrict recurrent nosebleeds, one can sniff a freshly cut onion or add it to your daily diet. It keeps the blood vessels in a proper condition and keeps the nasal lining moist.
3. Use steam
Some people experience frequent nosebleeds due to sinusitis and/or other respiratory ailments. Steam proves specially beneficial for these people. Try to inhale over a crock pot of boiled water. Or opt for a mini steam bath. This is an easy remedy and a sure fix for nose bleeds.
4. Saline spray
Nasal allergies and/or blockages due to mucus and dust, nasal irritation induced nosebleeds can be fixed by saline spray. It helps soothe and heal irritated nasal membranes. All you have to do is mix ¼ tsp salt to ½ tsp baking soda in 1 to 1 ½ cups of water. Use an ear syringe and suck in the water and then squirt the saline solution into one nostril while keeping the other nostril closed. Lower your head over your sink, slowly blow out the water. Repeat until the water finishes.
