profuse bleeding nose

> Is 'Sharad Rutu' time span the same world wide?

 

excuse me for jumping in here but no sharat does not exist in temperate

climates

the seasonal scheme postulated by the ayurvedic texts needs to be

adapted

better for you to understand the qualities of the season where you live

what Dr. Bhate describes isn't something that ever really happens in

alaska (tho u might wish :-)

for nosebleeds try what should be a local plant: shepherd's purse

(capsella bursa pastoris) as a tincture

it is an excellent remedy to stop nosebleeds and strengthen capillaries

adult dose is 40-60 drops thrice daily

you might also try supplementing with mixed flavonoids as well and vit

c, or something like amla

might also consider an iron supplement such a floradix/floravit

i think ghee is good here but also other animals fats and proteins,

esp. in a very cold place like alaska that naturally promotes dryness

and cold

i know you probably don't mean it this way but the spots don't cause

the malabsorption

if they stay in one spot and don't grow out with the nail it can be an

indication of a mineral imbalance, most practitioners attributing this

sign to zinc, not calcium

 

however the nails are comprised of protein and problems with protein

assimilation/transanimation can be found in the nails; thus look to

diet, digestion and liver function

 

> The nail diagnosis is calcium deficiency due to the nosebleeds,

> correct?

 

? chronic bleeding will cause an iron deficiency before a calcium

deficiency

i'm not sure your diagnoses are helping here

anyway, remember that pulse and nail aren't really diagnosis, they are

an inference

you have to have a better understanding of how to interpret your son's

history to understand the benefit of inferential assessments like these

- most ayurvedic practitioners in India don't even practice these

techniques

you could be making it more complicated than need be
