Sad to say, but the fact remains
that there is no sure fire cure for that undeviating ringing
in the ears the agonizing ailment that affects a great majority
of Americans and is commonly known as tinnitus. However, the
TV and the added media wouldn't hear of it. They believe in beating
the drums of sundry pharmaceutical agents, provoking the sufferer
to go for OTC medications which alas have more harmful side-effects
than any real relief. Frustrated sufferers who have heard of
herbal remedies often seek respite from gingko bilboa or black
cohosh, both said to improve blood circulation in the upper torso
and thus provide relief. But these too can never cure the disorder,
merely providing marginal relief. Since homeopathy has currently
reappeared as one of the most effective alternate mode of treatment
for many, tinnitus patients often rush for it in the hope of
gaining genuine relief and when that fails too, the only way
that is left is the good old home remedy to bank upon.
The trouble with over-the-counter medications,
as earlier said, concerns its side effects that often prove disastrous
in most cases. These include head reeling, nausea, acute constipation,
exhaustion, vertigo, loss of control and may also lead to that
unenviable corporeal vulnerability called the Irregular Bowel
Syndrome. So far as other alternative treatment courses are concerned
that include hypnosis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, acupuncture
or magnet therapy, the last word is frequently denoted by a zilch.
Nevertheless, the home
remedy for tinnitus could prove effective only if the causes
could match its parameters. And for doing this one has to figure
out what mostly causes tinnitus. The causative factors, nevertheless,
could be a single issue or multiple trigger factors that give
rise to tinnitus. For better understanding of the subject, a
list of some of the significant factors is given below.
* Consistent exposure to earsplitting noise occurring at missile
test firing grounds, steel stamping or forging units, high power
rifle shooting ranges or metal fabrication workshops frequently
end up with tinnitus in single or both ears. Listening to high
volume rock music for days on end has also caused tinnitus to
many.
* Inadequate blood supply in the upper torso on account of narrowing
of blood vessels in that region due to cholesterol can also trigger
tinnitus in people suffering from high blood. One of the most
distinctive examples of this type of listening problem relates
to pulsatile tinnitus where the patient can hear his/her own
heartbeat.
* Even certain types of food and drink like the grain-based alcohols,
red wine, chocolates and cheeses can trigger tinnitus in many
people who would never have suspected that unholy link between
those innocuous consumables and tinnitus.
* Some types of jawbone joint problems, especially Temporomandibular
Jaw Joint problem, it has lately been found, can cause tinnitus
in many patients.
* Prolonged use of NSAIDs, cancer resisting therapies and some
of the loop diuretics are known causes of tinnitus.
* Tumors, non-cancerous growths or allergies near to the ears
or occurring in principal blood vessels carrying blood to the
head or neck region can trigger tinnitus in people who are susceptible
to such conditions.
* Tinnitus related hearing loss.
* Microscopic ending damages that may happen to the nerves that
is responsible for hearing.
* When the bones in the middle portion of the ear hardens.
* Middle ear infection that causes filling up of the space with
fluid or discharge and even too much of ear wax buildup causes
tinnitus in many cases.
Even though some
Tinnitus
Home Remedies are
supposed to provide enduring relief to this distressing disorder,
most sadly enough are nothing but voodoos. Yet for the sake of
identification, some of these are listed below. These include:
* Much hyped gingko bilboa that is known to have that special
trait to help rush blood and thus encourage better circulation
in the head and neck region, lack of which triggers tinnitus
is believed to provide relief to the disease condition in a more
positive way.
* Bayberry bark, burdock root, hawthorn leaf, goldenseal and
myrrh gum are some of the best known relief providers for tinnitus
patients.
* Freshly cut pineapple rings that are believed to have inflammation
reducing properties are thought to perk up the blood circulation
in the head and neck region, thus relieving tinnitus symptoms.
* Coenzyme Q 10, taken at the rate of 300 mg per day can also
improve the upper torso blood circulation by raising the immune
system significantly which in turn would provide relief to tinnitus.
* A teaspoon of common salt mixed with the same quantity of glycerin
and sprayed into the nose and throat is supposed to give respite
to tinnitus suffers who are probably considered blessed or lucky.
* Raw garlic taken daily can also offer respite from tinnitus.
Tinnitus
Home remedies,
can work effectively only when they function as a component of
Holistic Remedies meant for curing tinnitus for good
No matter how much freshly cut pineapple rings one may consume
or take concoctions of gingko or black cohosh on a daily or monthly
basis, there will never arise any appreciable relief to tinnitus
for the simple reason that none of these address the disease
condition in any form whatsoever. What these actually do is to
deaden the symptoms for a short while and as soon as the provisional
therapy is withdrawn, quick marches the symptoms. Holistic remedies,
on the other hand, treat the body as a whole, seldom bothering
with the symptoms. Symptoms are mere manifestation of the disease
condition and when this is permanently alienated from the body,
symptoms die a natural death. Holistic remedies, as a matter
of fact, go much below the surface in order to identify the root
causes that have created the disorder and then specify the appropriate
range of medications that may include change of food habits and
if necessary, change of lifestyle, acupuncture, acupressure and
aerobics. But one may do well to bear in mind that home remedies,
whether herbal or otherwise will only work when they form a part
of holistic remedies seldom on their own.
