How to stop bleeding: Eight effective home remedies Injuries that result in bleeding are very common, but even the minor bleeding caused by cuts and scrapes needs to be stopped. Often these injuries can be treated at home, but it is important that a person knows how to do this safely. Whoever is treating the wound should wash their hands and wear latex gloves if possible.

Dark chocolate with olive oil associated with improved cardiovascular risk profile

Dark chocolate with olive oil associated with improved cardiovascular risk profile Dark chocolate enriched with extra virgin olive oil is associated with an improved cardiovascular risk profile, according to research presented today at ESC Congress. "A healthy diet is known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease," said lead author Dr Rossella Di Stefano, a cardiologist at the University of Pisa, Italy.

Nosebleeds: Why they start and how to stop them The medical term for a nosebleed is epistaxis. Because of the position of the nose - right in the middle of the face - and its high density of blood vessels, most of us will have had at least one nosebleed at some time during our lives. Although seldom a cause for alarm, nosebleeds can be life-threatening in rare cases. Nosebleeds are most often caused by local trauma but can also be caused by foreign bodies, nasal or sinus infections, and prolonged inhalation of dry air. Tumors and  vascular malformations  are also potential causes of nosebleeds, but they are rare. Spontaneous nosebleeds are fairly common, especially in children. When the mucous membrane (a mucus-secreting tissue inside the nose) dries, crusts, or cracks and is then disturbed by nose-picking, it is likely to bleed. Because the nose is full of blood vessels, any  minor injury  to the face can cause the nose to bleed profusely. Nosebleeds...
