Some tinnitus sufferers have found considerable relief from using natural products to combat tinnitus symptoms.
Nutritional and herbal supplements can greatly reduce symptoms of tinnitus. Weekly or twice weekly B12 injections have been shown to be beneficial. Magnesium supplements have also been shown to reverse tinnitus induced hearing loss.
Niacin, which is a form of Vitamin B3, can allow more oxygen into the inner ear as it can help the blood vessels to expand, which can reduce noises heard.
Sometimes a zinc deficiency can be responsible for some symptoms of tinnitus, if you suspect this to be the case then zinc supplements may help, or eat foods rich in zinc such as shellfish, nuts, cheese and whole grains.
Ginkgo Biloba or Black Cohosh are other supplements which have been shown to reduce tinnitus symptoms, by expanding blood vessels and thus increasing blood flow in the head and neck. You will need to try these for a minimum of two months before any benefits are noticed. You can find both a Ginkgo and Black Cohosh supplements and a lot more at Evitamins.com
Tinnarex is a natural remedy available from Native Remedies.
There are other remedies you can try to alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus. Some people find that a gentle massage around the cranial area can help to stimulate blood flow and reduce the pressure on the auditory nerves.
Some tinnitus is caused by high blood pressure; reducing blood pressure by losing weight and exercising may reduce symptoms.
Avoid too much salt in your diet, as excess salt can impair blood circulation.
Stop smoking- smoking can also impact on circulation and destroys vital nutrients within the body.
Some tinnitus is caused by stress, so look at reducing the amount of stress in your life. Practice relaxation and meditation techniques, and make sure you get as much rest as possible, especially as tinnitus can impact upon sleep.
Remember to consult your doctor in the first instance if you are considering trying alternative methods of treatment or if you require dietary advice.
