Treatment of bleeding from the nose

Bleeding from the nose is said to be stopped by rubbing old ghee on the head, or ghee cooked with a decoction of the five milky trees, hribera, nichula (cane) and arjuna, or by pouring a stream of jujube decoction (sauvira), water or milk. A footnote lists the five milky trees and notes that some put shirisha or vetasa in place of parisha.
