How Epistaxis treatment at Jiva Ayurveda is different?

From Ayurvedic perspective nasal bleeding indicates aggravation of pitta. Aggravated pitta mixes with rakta dhatu (blood tissue) to cause epistaxis. It can occur as an independent disease or as a symptom of diseases like urdhwaga raktapitta, kamala and so on. Ayurveda utilizes herbal preparations that contain haemostatic herbs for internal and external usage that help check bleeding.
