Bleeding from the inside of the nose is called epistaxis. There is a rich supply of blood to the nasal mucosa by the arteries. Rupture of blood vessels of the nasal mucosa leads to nose bleeding. There are various causes of epistaxis. Amongst the major causes are trauma, nose picking, dryness of nasal membranes, inflammation resulting from chronic sinusitis or chronic rhinitis, and hypertension. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemophilia, leukemia, and use of anticoagulant medicines are some other causes of epistaxis. Homeopathic treatment for epistaxis is very effective. 
Homeopathic Treatment for Epistaxis
Homeopathy is highly beneficial in removing the constant tendency of epistaxis in a person. For a complete cure, medicines aim at correcting the underlying cause that is leading to the nose bleed. Top grade medicines for the treatment for epistaxis are Hamamelis, Phosphorus, Arnica, Millifolium, and Carbo Veg.
1. Hamamelis – Top Medicine for Epistaxis
Hamamelis is a very good anti hemorrhagic medicine for epistaxis. It works well for bleeding from various orifices of the body, including nasal bleeding. Hamamelis offers a lot of help in epistaxis when the blood is dark and incoagulable. Along with nasal bleeding, there is a soreness in the nose. There is a feeling of pressure and tightness at the root of the nose. Patients in need of Hamamelis also show extreme exhaustion and weakness along with nasal bleeding.
2. Phosphorus – For Epistaxis with Bright Red Blood
Phosphorus is among the best medicines to control bleeding from various body parts. It is an equally effective anti hemorrhagic remedy as Hamamelis. Phosphorus is prescribed for bright red nasal bleeding. Phosphorus helps in reducing the tendency towards recurrent epistaxis episodes. In cases of bleeding from nasal polyps, Phosphorus is often used because of its ability to help the patient recover completely. Phosphorus works well in cases of nasal bleeding from chronic nasal catarrh.
3. Crocus Sativus – For Dark or Black, Stringy Blood
Crocus Sativus is another very effective medicine for epistaxis with dark or black, stringy nasal bleeding. Crocus Sativus works well in epistaxis where the nasal blood is dark or black with viscid strings that hang down the nose in the form of thread or rope. Along with nasal bleeding, there is extreme physical weakness and weariness. Patients requiring Crocus Sativus may also faint. Epistaxis episodes appearing in summer or hot weather are treated successfully with Crocus Sativus. It helps to control acute nasal bleeding as well a person’s tendency to have recurrent epistaxis spells experienced in hot weather.
4. Arnica – For Epistaxis Following an Injury or Blow to the Nose
Arnica is a highly reliable and efficient treatment for epistaxis caused by an injury. Arnica, also known as Leopard’s Bane, is a natural medicine for cases of injury. It is an anti-trauma remedy found in the first-aid kits of all homeopaths. In epistaxis from injury, a fall or a blow to the nose, Arnica must be given without hesitation as it is a highly competent hemorrhage controlling medicine. It can be repeated frequently at short intervals. Arnica works well when there is a sore and bruised feeling in the nose. Apart from epistaxis due to injury, Arnica is also recommended for nasal bleeding during typhoid fever.
5. Carbo Veg – For Epistaxis that Appears on a Regular Basis
Carbo Veg is an ideal treatment for epistaxis for patients suffering from frequent episodes of nasal bleeding. Due to blood loss, the face of the patient appears pale. The body is cold and sweaty. Other symptoms include low vitality and exhaustion, and sometimes the patient may even collapse due to excessive blood loss. The patient feels better when in cold air. Carbo Veg helps put a check on frequent epistaxis attacks and also contributes to regaining vitality and energy levels lost due to daily nasal bleeding.
6. Meliliotus – For Congestive Headaches Relieved by Nasal Bleeding
Whenever nasal bleeding brings relief from congestive headaches, Melilotus is the most appropriate homeopathic prescription. Individuals requiring Melilotus suffer from violent, throbbing, congestive headaches. Along with a headache, there is a redness and flushing of the face. When nasal bleeding appears, the headache and flushing of the face vanish. In such cases, there is a lot of bright red blood.
7. Lachesis – For Epistaxis with Black and Thick Blood
Lachesis is a significant anti hemorrhagic remedy used for treating various bleeding tendencies. Lachesis works well for epistaxis in cases where there is a discharge of black, thick blood from the nose. The blood may also be offensive. Some patients may also complain of acridity in the blood which irritates and corrodes the lips and nostrils.
Other Important Medicines
1. For Epistaxis with Bright, Red Blood
Among the most suitable treatment for epistaxis of bright red blood are Phosphorus, Ipecac, and Millifolium. Phosphorus works well for bright red nasal bleeding either from nasal polyps, chronic nasal catarrh or otherwise. Ipecac is useful for profuse, bright red nasal bleeding when accompanied by nausea. Millifolium is excellent for painless, profuse bright red nasal bleeding.
2. For Epistaxis with Dark Blood
Lachesis and Hamamelis are the most prominent remedies for epistaxis with dark blood. Lachesis works well in cases of dark, black and thick nasal bleeding. The blood may also be acrid and offensive. Hamamelis is selected when nasal blood is dark, accompanied by tightness on the bridge of the nose. In such cases, there may also be extreme exhaustion from nasal bleeding.
3. For Epistaxis with Clotted Blood
For dealing with epistaxis with clotted blood, medicines Crocus Sativus and China are the best choices. Crocus Sativus works well when nasal bleeding is tenacious, clotted and stringy. It may hang down from the nose in the form of threads. China works well when the person loses vitality due to excessive nasal bleeding. The person seems completely exhausted, debilitated, and may even faint with epistaxis.
4. For Epistaxis from Trauma
Homeopathic medicines Arnica and Hamamelis are the best homeopathic remedies to deal with epistaxis caused by trauma. These medicines give great results when controlling nasal bleeding from injury, trauma or a blow to the nose. They can be used alternatively for best results.
5. For Epistaxis with Anemia
Ferrum Met and China are the most appropriate medicines for epistaxis with anemia. Ferrum Met is a highly suitable medicine for controlling hemorrhages in anemic patients. Ferrum Met works well when nasal blood is bright red. In such cases, along with epistaxis, symptoms of anemia are also present. Homeopathic medicine China is equally effective as Ferrum Met and is prescribed when epistaxis appears with anemia and a noticeable loss of body strength. Extreme exhaustion, weakness, and debility are also present.
6. For Epistaxis from Dry Nasal Crusts
Ammonium Carb and Kali Bichrome are useful medicines for epistaxis from nasal crusts. Patients requiring these medicines have nasal bleeding because of the peeling of nasal crusts that get formed due to dry nasal catarrh. These medicines have to be used for some time for complete recovery.
I frequently suffer from cold and catarrhal conditions now aged 76.

At present in such conditions, I am suffering from nasal discharges frequently with a feeling of congestion on head and inside nose. Mucous has to be discharged on bloing nose. Mucous has different characters, sometime white, sometime yellow, sometime very stringy very difficult to bring out and sometimes thin as in acute condition. Along with this, there is occasional pain on the left parietal side. On bloing, blood streaks are found in mucous frquently. What homoeopathic medicine should I be prescribed?

Hi Dr. Sharma. My 2y9m grandson has started daily episodes of epistaxis for past one week. The blood is red colored, with some clotted strings toward the end of bleeding. Sometimes, he also has nasal crusts that he tries to peel off by inserting his finger. His father also had epistaxis problem during his childhood, upto age 10y or so. He was successfully treated by a renowned homeopath in my town, Hisar, Haryana. Due to lockdown, we are not moving out of our house. Could you please advise on the condition of this child?
Hope to receive a response

Dear Dr.Sharma,
My 6 year old boy is having nosebleed twice a day for 3 days now.he never had it before.He lost quite an amount of blood.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Nasal bleeding occurred frequently specially in time of bathing. Red blood flow and coagulated after 1 minute. Sometimes occurred when sleeping at night and through out the day by glimpse of throat. Feeling bad in thinking. Feeling pressure in the head. Sometimes virtigo . So what should I have to do.
Dear Dr Sharma
My 13 yo daughter had two nosebleeds yesterday that we’re unlike anything she’d ever experienced before. She has had a cold so I assume dryness and/or inflammation was a factor. The first nosebleed came on very quickly and lasted for over an hour. It was gushing blood (we were shocked at how much) for a lot of that time and there were some large gel-like blood clots near the end. The second nosebleed was in the evening and was similar but had more clots and only lasted 20 minutes. I have read about the many remedies for nosebleeds and am confused as to what we should try. I’m mostly looking for something that will help with clotting when the bleeding starts (since this is not an ongoing issue that happens without a cold, at least not yet). Thank you in advance for your help! – Deb
