Your nose contains a network of tiny and sensitive blood vessels. If any of these blood vessels were to be damaged, it would result in a nosebleed. Medically termed as “epistaxis,” nosebleeds are a common condition among children and adults. There are many remedies that can help treat nosebleeds, such as the ancient healing art of acupressure.
Nosebleeds, while terrifying to some, are no cause for immediate alarm. They can happen frequently during cold or dry weather. They can also be triggered by allergies, sinus infections, environmental irritants, common colds and an excessive use of nasal sprays. However, if you are not in the presence of any of these triggers and you still experience frequent nosebleeds, then this might be some cause for concern as it could be an indication of a more serious illness, such as hypertension, leukemia, or arteriosclerosis. Acupressure can help relieve mild cases of nosebleeds and other ailments. (Related: Reduce the severity of these common medical emergencies with 8 acupressure treatments while help arrives.)
