Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 My husband is currently serving in Iraq again and is having a terrible bloody nose. This is his second tour over there and it took over a year to clear this up last time he came home. Does anyone have any suggestions to help. It seems to be caused by the sand storms but their nose gets all stuffed up with dried blood and very raw inside. What can He safely use to help. He has high blood pressure and is concerned that the saline solutions is draining into his system and is worried it is not good. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 In the winter time, here in NM we have a tendency to get bloody noses from the dry weather. I put a pot of water on the stove and let the steam go into the air. this stops the nose bleeds. Maby there would be someway to get him to breath steam from something. Do they have a fire that they can heat water on and breath the steam from the pot. Just don't get close enough to get burned.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Try a neti pot ( search it) and use warm saline water w/ a drop or 2 of sesame oil in it...works like a charm...if you search it - you will learn more that I can say here...or in a pich till you can get a pot take a wash cloth and dip it in warm water w/ salt ( drop or 2 of sesame oil - optional) in it and then hold it up to the nostril holes of the nose and snuff / inhale it in your nose - do this over a sink...provides good relief...this moisturizes / hydrates the mucous membranes of the nose...can be done 6 X / day if necessary... you can also search 'nasal saline irrigation' and learn even more...--- On Tue, 3/10/09, JoanKuehn <geminipackrat wrote: JoanKuehn <geminipackratRe: {Herbal Remedies} Bloody noseherbal remedies Date: Tuesday, March 10, 2009, 2:42 PM In the winter time, here in NM we have a tendency to get bloody noses from the dry weather.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 If it were me I'ld treat the high blood pressure going on cayenne, wheat germ oil, and a mix of blackstrap molasses/apple cider vinegar. Take those every day and I bet his blood pressure would get normalized then the nose bleeding would stop. Might be a hassle to have bottles of supplementary nutrition kicking around if he's deployed in the field but the cayenne is portable enough. Plus it doubles to stop bleeding on wounds and helps get those MREs flavored enough to eat. In the files section there is a heart formula. Make that up and send it to him. As far as the mechanical aspects of sand and grit in the nose goes, do netti. The saline draining into his system is small compared to what he's probably getting in military chow. I'm no expert on the netti so I could be wrong but I remember army chow. Netti is great for nose/sinus stuff and I can't think of anything finer for clearing out those nasal passages. Far better than dirty fingers in a war zone. You'ld have to mail him a netti pot and some sea salt and his buddy's will harrass him but it works. I hope something helps. Maybe someone else has some other ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Sometimes a person has high blood pressure simply because they do not get enough calcium in their system.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 You can have him snuff some dried peppermint up his nose like snuff (just a pinch!) to get rid of the nose bleed. Sounds like he may have to coat his inside of nose with petrolatum jelly in order to keep the nose lubricated and coated so the sand does not irritate it. We use petroleum jelly sparingly, but this would be a case where I think it would be most beneficial. You have to weigh the odds of what is happening versus what you think might be good for him in normal times. He is not in normal times.
