    Is the air particularly dry? I tend to get really dry sinuses in the winter, when heaters start blowing. A neti pot flush once a day, or even a bottle of saline nasal spray might help.

    Nose bleeds, varicose veins, easy bruising, strokes, plaque in arteries, etc. all are related in that they are indications that blood vessel walls are thin and weak...i.e. scurvy...or lack of vitamin C. Of course there could be other issues, but I suspect that increasing your vitamin C intake couldn't hurt. You might google Dr Matthias Rath--he has written a lot on this subject.

        years ago, i chewed up the fresh leaves and jammed a plug of it up the nostril bleeding and laid down, and it did seem to help it rather well.

          Of course, remember the most basic cause of dryness. . .. water water water. As the fall hits, its easier to forget your fluids. . .so make sure you're drinking enough water. Nose bleeds can also be a sign of an imbalance in your blood, as someone mentioned, so make sure your iron intake is up to par, and you might want to consider seeing a doctor if it continues to continue.
