Massage
This includes three movements of rubbing the nose, scraping the nose and rubbing the apex of nose. Rub the middle joints of the thumbs against each other until they get warm. Then, rub the two sides of the bridge of nose with the warm middle joints for 24 times. This is the first movement. Scrape the nose bridge from the upper part to the lower part for ten times. This is the second movement. Rub the apex of nose for 12 times respectively with the fingers of the both hands. This is the third movement. This exercise promotes the local blood circulation, makes the nasal skin moist and lustrous, moistens the lung and prevents common cold.
In addition, people should cultivate the good habit of blowing the nose. Namely, hold the nose between the thumb and index finger to discharge the nasal mucus forcefully, do not press one side to blow the nose. This may make the nasal discharge in the nasal cavity of the other side inspired into the body.
Health care of the Nose
is one of the body parts which are easily affected by the environment. Its function and shape may be changed if its complex network of bone and cartilage has been damaged by any type of infection. In addition to controlling humidity of the air you take in, it also filters out unnecessary substances. Humidity is controlled by a damp tissue known as mucosal tissue within your nasal cavities. This is the same kind of tissue which lays the inside of your mouth. The nose is good at providing additional moisture to dry air than it is at reducing the moisture in air that is too moist. So we should take care of nose to get an attractive look.
So it's very important to look after your nose. For curing nose from different diseases we need to collect some important information. As bath the nose with cold water and clean it regularly. Leave the bad habits such as nose-picking,blowing the noses hard or stuffing things such as round rings, paper and handkerchiefs up to the nostril can do a lot of harm to your nose. External part of our nose is covered by a layer of skin.

How To Care For Bleeding Nose
Nose bleeds often result form dry mucosa followed by the trauma of blowing the nose from allergies and/or colds. Here is some basic information on how to deal with them.
The technically correct medical term for nose bleeds is epistaxis. They are classified on the basis of the primary bleeding site: anterior or posterior.
Anterior (90% of nose bleeds)
• The most common source if bleeding is from the Kiesselbach plexus which is an anastomotic (think multiple roads coming together) network of vessels on the anterior portion of the nasal septum.
• May also be due to bleeding anterior to the inferior turbinate.
Posterior
• Bleeding will originate from branches of the sphenopalatine artery in the posterior nasal cavity or nasopharynx.
• This is much more serious and usually require admission to the hospital and management by an otolaryngologist.
CAUSES of NASAL BLEEDING (epistaxis)
Most cases have no easily identifiable cause.
Local trauma (ie, nose picking, blowing too hard or roughly, foreign bodies) is the most common cause. Other local causes include:
* facial trauma or surgery
* nasal or sinus infections
* allergies
* nasal polyps
* prolonged inhalation of dry air (climate or too warm house)
* tumors
Systemic causes of nose bleeding include
• Blood disorders (hemophilia, leukemia, polycythemia vera, thrombocytopenia, von Willebrand’s disease, etc)
• Acquired platelet dysfunctions (related to use of aspirin, NSAIDs, dipyridamole, etc
• Anticoagulation therapy (ie warfarin, enoxaparin, etc)
• Hypertension is rarely (if ever) a direct cause of epistaxis. Therapy should be focused on controlling bleeding before blood pressure reduction.
• Vascular abnormalities that contribute to epistaxis may include the following:
1. Arteriovenous Malformations
2. Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasis
3. Sclerotic Vessels
4. Neoplasm (tumor)
5. Septal abnormality (ie perforation or deviation)
6. Endometriosis
WHAT TO DO at HOME WHEN NOSE BLEEDING
As with all bleeding the first thing to do is remain calm, then apply pressure.
How do you apply pressure correctly?
o Sit up straight.
o Lean your head forward rather than back. This way you won’t swallow the blood which can irritate your stomach and make you nauseated.
o Pinch the nostrils together with your thumb and index finger for 5-10 minutes. Pinch them tightly and don’t let go early. Yes, it will be uncomfortable if you have enough pressure.
o Repeat for another 5-10 minutes, if the bleeding hasn’t stopped. You may not have held consistent pressure the first time.
Things that can help prevent a nose bleed or re-bleed:
• Avoid local trauma. No nose picking. Try not to blow your or sneeze for 24-48 hrs after the nose bleed.
• Minimize exposure to dry air. This can be a problem if you live in Arizona or in a heated home in the winter. Adding moisture to the air with a humidifier or vaporizer will help.
• Using salt water nasal spray can help. This can be used with abandon, no limits.
• Using vaseline occasionally to help keep the lining of your nose moisturized. Don’t overdo this.
WHEN it’s appropriate to go to the hospital
* You are still bleeding after REALLY pinching the nose for 10 minutes.
* You are having repeated episodes of nosebleeds over a 12-36 hour period.
* You feel dizzy or light-headed or like you are going to pass out.
* Your doctor instructs you to go to a hospital's emergency department.
WHEN it is appropriate to call your doctor
• Repeated episodes of nosebleeds. You may need to see a specialist to make sure there are no polyps, etc in your nose.• Additional bleeding from places other than the nose, such as in the urine or stool. You may have a blood abnormality or other health issue.
• Bruising easily and are not on a blood-thinner. This may be a sign of another health issue.
• If you are on any blood-thinning medications, including aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin). Your doctor should know about your bleeding, as they may wish to change your dosage if you bleed too often or it is difficult to stop.
• If you have any underlying disease that may affect your blood clotting, such as liver disease, kidney disease, or hemophilia (inability of blood to clot)
• If you recently had chemotherapy. Again your doctor should now, so they can check and make sure you aren’t having other issues.
