Tinnitus Relief Suggestions...

Conventional medications

Many conventional medications achieve only limited success in tinnitus relief, and usually their bothersome side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation often discourage use.These include:

• Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline and nortriptyline
• Migraine medications gabapentin (Neurontin) and acamprosate (Campral)
• Baclofen (a muscle relaxant)

Natural and holistic tinnitus remedies can be effective in assisting with the relief of symptoms, as well as addressing the individual’s overall health and well-being.

Herbal and homeopathic remedies are gentle, yet effective - without the harmful side effects of conventional medicine.

Tinnitus relief using herbal remedies can be used to support all body systems involved in helping the ear to perform its tasks of clear hearing and balance, as well as the circulatory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems.

Here are a few...

• Ginkgo biloba is an extremely effective herb used in traditional Chinese medicine and derived from one of the oldest trees on earth.

  Its beneficial properties have only been discovered by the West during the last 20 years, where clinical studies have indicated its effectiveness in supporting the functioning of the circulatory system and improving common conditions associated with the normal aging process. Ginkgo is an excellent tonic for the brain and many people swear by this natural ingredient.

• Rosmarinus officinale is often used to support health and strength in blood vessels and is also an excellent circulation tonic. Rosemary acts as an invigorating herb, promoting balanced mood and imparting energy and a zest for life,

• Avena sativa is made from the wild oat plant and is a well known restorative and nerve tonic. Avena sativa is effective in maintaining healthy cholesterol within normal levels, thus also benefiting circulation.

  This herb is also used as a nervous system tonic, promoting healthy libido and energy levels.

• Verbena officinalis is well-known for its ability to relieve common tension and stress and to promote balance and harmony in the nervous system, supporting feelings of well-being.

• Salicylic ac. (homeopathic strength) is indicated for those who need to support balance, clear and undisturbed hearing as well as the health of the circulatory system. This homeopathic remedy will provide many of the benefits of modern aspirin, without the dangerous side effects.

Testimony...

"My husband was diagnosed with Meniers Vertigo nearly 6 years ago. He has had ringing and a static echo-like sound in his left ear since.

Recently he started rubbing geranium, rose behind his ear lobe & on the bone, and geranium, peppermint and lavender (full strength) on his toe tips. This was the first time he tried the oils. Within 15 minutes, he noticed the static-echo sound was nearly gone.

It does return, but doing this routine 2 times/day the sound has consistently been lower.

A week later I purchased Helichrysum.

Following the steps in the Essential Oil Desk Reference, he put one drop on a cotton ball in his ear at night.

The following day my husband realized for a time (15-20 minutes that he was aware of), the mid-ear ringing was completely gone!

As he continues to practice these routines with the oils daily, the ringing has been consistently lower.

As suggested in one of the testimonials, he is also using Helichrysum behind the ear lobe at the bone, and now apply's that oil first on toe tips and then geranium and peppermint.

Needless to say...we are quite pleased to have discovered the benefits of the oils to achieve tinnitus relief."
