I would advice you to keep your nostrils moist all day long. You can use almond oil, 2-3 drops twice daily with the help of a dropper. Nose picking and dry weather are very common causes of nose bleeding. Drink lots of fluids daily 10 -12 glasses of water. Avoid spicy food.

Hello Pallavi, It is common to get bleeding because of dryness of the nose. The most effective way to get rid of it is by applying some Ghee or coconut oil on the inner skin of your nose. You have to apply it atleast twice a day to see noticeable difference. Other than that, if you get bleeding from the nose, sit on a chair with your head bent forward a bit, pinch your nose hard with your index finger and thumb. Sit like that for two to three minutes and breathe through your mouth. This process will stop the bleeding.
