Q. My daughter has excessive nosebleeds. Do you have any herbal or home remedy suggestions?
A. You may want to start in the pharmacy. There are three products to consider: Nosebleed QR (www.biolife.com and 800-722-7559), NasalCEASE (www.nasalcease.com and 800-650-6673) and Seal-On.
As for home remedies, our favorite would be to put a wad of cold keys down the back under the shirt. We cannot explain why this might work, but we have heard from many readers that it is amazingly effective:
“When I was a little girl in rural North Carolina, my daddy knew to stop nosebleeds when someone in the family had one. He put a bunch of car keys down her back. The nosebleed stopped pronto. He was uneducated but the remedies that he used worked for us.”
