Homeopathic Treatment of Nosebleed : Personal Care Articles

Epistaxis (Nose-Bleed) and Homeopathy!

Homeopathic mode of therapy is an individualized treatment pattern in which the patient with the symptoms of the disease is treated and not just his disease. No wonder homeopathic doctors are interested more in the symptoms of the disease than the diagnosis. Also it is stated that remedy selection must be done by an expert homeopath so that he is well aware of the clinical symptoms of the disease and their apt correlation with the symptoms of the remedy. That’s why when the person suffers from epistaxis or nose-bleed, the homeopath is definitely concerned about the disease in background but is more concerned for the concomitant symptoms and associated symptoms of the nosebleed.

Following causative factors may be seen in different people for epistaxis:

1) High blood pressure

2) Nasal polyps

3) High intra-ocular pressure

4) Head injury

5) Recurrent allergic colds and coughs

6) Idiopathic (unexplained)

7) As a replacement to normal menstruation in some women

Obviously causative factors play an important role while selecting homeopathic medicines for a patient with nosebleed. But there are cases in the practice when some patients have a tendency to develop nosebleed without any reason whatsoever. Here too, homeopathic miasmatic remedies can help get rid of the tendency. Causative factors are important because unless you treat the root cause, mere stopping of nosebleed will be temporary with suppressant medicines and it is of no use.

For chronic cases of nosebleed due to nasal polyps, homeopathic medicines can help get rid of polyps without undergoing any type of surgery.
