Bleeding from the head or a hit to the nose can cause blood flow. This is due to local blood vessel injury and there is no need to worry too much. However, sudden nosebleeds should not be ignored. This sudden nosebleed may be caused by conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis.
Most nosebleeds in adults are usually caused by "excessive internal heat", but they can also occur due to emotional changes, climate changes, and changes in nutritional status. This situation is common in young men and women. However, women may also experience sudden nosebleeds during menstruation or pregnancy.
When experiencing nosebleeds, it is important to understand the cause. If the cause is outside the nose, medical treatment should be sought. If the nosebleed is due to high blood pressure, it is better to let it flow out instead of immediately stopping it.
Acupoints and treatment
The acupoint for stopping nosebleeds is at the fifth cervical vertebra, so simply lightly striking the fifth cervical vertebra with the hand can stop the nosebleed. Exhale while lightly striking and repeat this process to immediately stop the nosebleed.
