Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla or Chamaemelum nobile) has a long history of use in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments, including its application for minor wounds and mucosal irritations. In some traditional European herbal practices, chamomile infusions or poultices have been used topically to help stop minor bleeding, including nosebleeds (epistaxis), due to its reputed mild astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. These uses are largely anecdotal and based on historical herbal texts and folk medicine reports.

However, scientific evidence specifically supporting the efficacy of chamomile for treating nosebleeds is extremely limited. While chamomile contains compounds such as apigenin and bisabolol that exhibit anti-inflammatory and mild antimicrobial effects, there is a lack of robust clinical trials or studies demonstrating its effectiveness in controlling nasal bleeding. Modern medical management of nosebleeds generally does not include chamomile, and most references to its use are found in ethnobotanical literature rather than scientific research. Thus, its use for nosebleeds is primarily justified by traditional practices rather than scientific validation, and the quality of evidence supporting this use is low.
