How to manage heavy nosebleeds from hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia? - #54621

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) with frequent heavy nosebleeds suggests a strong Pitta-Rakta imbalance in Ayurveda, where delicate blood vessels become fragile and prone to bleeding. Since blood loss is significant and recurrent, supportive care and prevention are very important. Ayurvedic Supportive Measures Avoid heat-aggravating foods: very spicy, alcohol, excess tea/coffee, fermented and fried foods. Keep the body cool and hydrated. Use cow ghee or a few drops of Anu taila/ghee gently inside the nostrils to reduce dryness and irritation. Avoid forceful nose blowing, late nights, and excessive sun exposure. Traditionally Helpful Ayurvedic Herbs Amalaki (Amla) Yashtimadhu (Licorice) Pravala Pishti Mulethi Shatavari These are traditionally used to support cooling, vessel stability, and recovery after blood loss. During a Nosebleed Sit upright and lean slightly forward. Apply a cold cloth/ice pack over the nose and forehead. Pinch the soft part of the nose continuously for 10–15 minutes.
