Nose Bleeding Problems And Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment
Nose bleeding occurs when the delicate blood vessels in the nose rupture. There can be many reasons to the rupture of the blood vessels. Below are some common reasons:
1. Injury or trauma due to the picking of nose
2. Injury may caused by a hard blow to the nose
3. Sneezing with too much force or too frequent.
4. Breathing of the dry air
5. Sensitive nose which is more prone to bleeding due to thin blood vessels
6. The leading causes may be due to the picking of the nose or that the nose is more much sensitive and prone to bleeding as your GP has mentioned.
However, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers another possibility to the cause of nose bleeding – blood boiling over as a result of heat. This would be due to hyperactivity of the “yang” element or the accumulation of heat within the body as a result of diet. It could also be a deficiency of the “yin” element as a result of the lack of fluids within the body. If indeed the above-mentioned is the cause of your children’s nose bleed, it is highly recommended that you pay attention to his diet. No more spicy, greasy food and chocolates or cookies. Instead, consume more fruits and vegetables and drink more water.
You can also extract 50 – 100ml of fresh lotus root juice, add some sugar for taste and get your child to consume a glass a day. Another simple and effective supplement will be to have 200gm of fresh sugar cane with 50gm of cogongrass root (bai mao gen) and about 5 water chestnuts. The mixture can be boiled with water and your child can drink it for about 2 to 3 times a day.
After approximately a week, if the above-mentioned does not bring about an improvement in your child’s condition, it is however, recommended that you bring him for a detailed medical examination to determine the cause.
