Because of turmeric's ability to reduce inflammation, researchers have wondered if it may help relieve osteoarthritis pain. One study found that people using an Ayurvedic formula of herbs and minerals with turmeric, winter cherry (Withinia somnifera), boswellia (Boswellia serrata), and zinc had less pain and disability.
Bleeding from the nose that does not originate in the nose itself is a serious indication that some damage has been done internally, either by injury or disease. Medical attention is necessary to trace the bleeding to its source.
There are many different things which can cause a bloody nose or blood-streaked nasal mucous. In a child, a pediatrician is the best physician to make an initial assessment and determine whether other physicians such as ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctors should become involved. The skin lining the nasal passages is very thin and delicate which is what makes it prone to bleeding with even minor irritation. Irritating factors can include cold/dry weather; seasonal or environmental allergies; or an infection that causes typical upper respiratory 'cold' symptoms. Some other common causes of bleeding from the nose include trauma or a foreign body (in a child, most often related to nose-picking).
