subject: Natural Remedies For Tinnitus - Banish Tinnitus [print this page] The ringing or buzzing sound inside one or both the ears is called tinnitus. It affects 1 in 5 of the world's population, and it is of two types objective tinnitus and subjective tinnitus. In objective tinnitus, apart from the patient himself, people around him can also hear the buzzing sound inside his ears. In subjective tinnitus, however, only the patient himself can hear the buzzing sound inside his ears. Tinnitus treatment varies, depending on the cause. Here, now, are some examples of natural remedies for tinnitus.
Number one: Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises. Number two: Tinnitus sufferers should avoid certain foods, which can aggravate the condition. Examples of such foods include sugar, salt, saturated fats, dairy products, and processed foods. Because low blood sugar has been associated with tinnitus, it is crucial that you prevent fluctuations in your blood sugar level by cutting down on sweets. Instead, as part of your diet, include lots of fresh and raw fruits and vegetables. Consume a high-protein diet, and one rich in vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, zinc, and choline.
Number three: Exercise daily. Exercise improves blood flow to the structures of the ear. This doesn't have to be strenuous, just a walk every once in a while may be enough. Number four: Use herbal remedies. Bayberry bark, burdock root, goldenseal, hawthorn leaf and flower, and myrrh gum purify the blood and counter act infection.
Number five: Use alternative remedies such as hypnosis, acupuncture, sound therapy, neck exercises. Most of these treatments are still in the experimental stage. The most promising areas of research at the moment are sound therapy, neck exercises, and acupuncture. Acupuncture has produced dramatic success in cases of somatic tinnitus that were not accompanied by hearing loss.
Remember, though, that even if these natural remedies for tinnitus are effective, addressing the underlying causes of tinnitus is still the ultimate key to stop ringing of the ears.
