Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nosebleeds are caused by the upward flow of Qi and blood. The nose belongs to the lung orifice, and symptoms in the nose are generally closely related to abnormalities in the lungs, liver and other parts of the body. When a person's qi and blood rise, especially when the lung qi is hot, people will have nosebleeds. When lung qi is overheated, a person's eyes may also have blood or hemorrhage. The causes of internal heat and nosebleeds are the same, both are caused by the reverse flow of qi and blood, but internal heat is not the cause of nosebleeds.

When the nasal cavity is too dry, the capillaries inside will rupture, causing bleeding. From a clinical point of view, 90% of nosebleeds are vascular bleeding caused by blood vessel rupture. Patients should not be too nervous about this. In most cases, they can handle it by themselves and stop the bleeding in time.

When the nose bleeds, you can block the nose with a sanitary tampon, and tilt the head back to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. At the same time, you can also apply a cool towel on your forehead or nose to lower the temperature of your head and nose to reduce bleeding symptoms. If there is excessive bleeding in the nasal cavity and it is difficult to stop, you should see a doctor in time.

Nosebleeds in young people are also related to fatigue, exercise, etc. Especially young people who love to exercise often have their noses suddenly bleed during exercise. Under normal circumstances, patients with these bleeding symptoms can stop the bleeding on their own. However, those who suddenly have nosebleeds without warning should go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out pathological changes such as nasal tumors as early as possible.

Generally, bleeding from ruptured nasal blood vessels does not require special treatment. Professor Yang Li said that since nose bleeding is related to lung heat, people should try to avoid situations that cause lung heat in their diet and life. Drink less alcohol, eat less spicy food, and eat less food that may generate heat. On the contrary, you can eat more foods that can clear away heat and reduce internal heat, such as bitter melon, mung bean soup, watermelon, and cold drinks. Take 3 grams of winter mulberry leaves, add Imperata cogongrass root and Ophiopogon japonicus, and add some licorice appropriately, soak it in water and drink it, which can achieve the purpose of clearing away heat and reducing fire.
