Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Although dry air is usually the culprit when you get nose bleeds, especially in winter.... be sure to watch your blood pressure if nose bleeds persist. High blood pressure can cause nose bleeds also. Love, Light and Laughter, Candy Resolve to find thyself; and to know that he who finds himself, loses his misery. (This be my 2002 resolution!)

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 As strange as this may sound, saline solution will lubricate the inside of your nose. I make mine with a pinch of sea salt to 1/4 cup of boiled water, cool and add 1 drop of GSE. The last time I purchased a bottle of Ocean saline, I dumped out the contents and replacd it with the homemade saline. That brand is easy to take the top off and refill. I also use this mixture to stop sinus infections. Roxanne Roxanne J.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 I just started using saline for the same purpose.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Paul, GSE is grapefruit seed extract. I suggest you do a search on it as there is a lot of information. Some people advocate that you shouldn't use it on mucus membranes but I also put one drop in the saline solution I make for my contacts. Please make up your own mind thru research and do not just take my word for it as what works for me may not work for you. I also use GSE for washing veggies. Roxanne Roxanne J.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Thanks, Roxanne. In the past I've tried tea made from echinacea capsules up the nose, at the recommendation of my chriopractor. Now I'm using colloidal drops in the nostrils at the recommendation of my family doctor, who's savvy to herbs & nutrition, BTW. The colloidal silver works well, but it burned terribly until I started using saline spray also. That started me wondering just how much of the sinus infection problem might've been related to plain old dried-out mucous membranes. I just checked a bottle of something called Nutri-Biotic, and it's main ingredient is GSE. Ironically it fell off the shelf yesterday while I was reaching for something else. Guess the household elves might've been trying to tell me somethnig, huh? Thanks again. -- Paul Paul, GSE is grapefruit seed extract. I suggest you do a search on it as there is a lot of information.
