TINNITUS - NATURAL REMEDIES


Natural Remedies For Tinnitus

Tinnitus
Tinnitus is unbearable the persistent ringing, buzzing or hissing sound in your ears in the absence of corresponding sound present outside. Tinnitus may disturb your sleep and even your daily routine.
CausesThere are four parts of our ear; the outer, middle, inner and the brain. Any infection to these parts causes tinnitus. One of the main causes of tinnitus can be exposure to loud noise for longer duration. Louder and unpleasant noises affect the hair cells in the inner part of the ear that translates sounds into nerve impulses.
The general reasons for the cause of tinnitus might be low blood sugar. Even poor nutritious food and food allergies can lead to tinnitus. One of the medically proven cause of tinnitus is, Meniere's disease which causes vertigo in the inner part of the ear ultimately leading to loss of hearing. Stress can also be contributing in worsening the case.
Other reasons for the cause of tinnitus may include high cholesterol, swelling or ballooning of the artery, high blood pressure, ear infections, head injury or any such damage that restricts the flow of blood to your inner ear.
Natural Remedies for Tinnitus
1. Avoid exposure to loud noises. You can use ear plugs or cotton balls if you are compulsorily exposed to noises.
2. Avoid stress at times as it may be a triggering factor causing tinnitus.
3. Evade taking aspirins if you are habituated to. An aspirin worsens the tinnitus.
4. Get regular checkup for your blood pressure and keep in control,
5. Avoid salt and alcoholic stimulants from your diet and follow healthy and nutritious diet.
6. Things like saturated fats and sugars are responsible to bring more of tinnitus. Avoid them.
7. If you are suffering from tinnitus then you can try putting extract of Maidenhair tree or Ginkgo biloba into your ears. Do this for around 6 weeks.
8. You can also try putting lukewarm sesame oil into the ear, as suggested by Ayurvedic physicians. This gives you relief from the pain. It is recommended to do under professional experience.
There are certain medications and drugs prescribed for the treatment of tinnitus, but they are not proved to be dependable. These drugs may cause you some sort of side effects like drowsiness, nausea, palpitation, stomach pain, anxiety and may even lead to insomnia and blurred vision. Fortunately, natural remedies do work but need an eye of experienced professional.

  3. Váyu: For all Váyu-related ear diseases (earache,
    ringing, wind sounds, and deafness), oil is first used
    internally and externally (in the ear too) in addition
    to emulsive purgatives (e.g., licorice/viæa´ga). Then
    the ear is fomented with Váyu-reducing herbs by
    means of steam (nádí sveda) that is applied to the ear
    through a tube. Ringing in the ear is helped by placing
    three drops of clove oil in the ear.
