Secret Cure for Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a chronic ringing of the ears that can lead to discomfort, disorientation and possible hearing loss. Medical science has struggled to provide relief, and many people look for a secret miracle cure. As is often the case, there is no such panacea with a 100 percent success rate. However, there are many holistic homeopathic remedies which may be able to heal the condition directly or indirectly. Consult your physician before trying a new treatment.

  1. Direct Tinnitus Remedies

    • There are three homeopathic remedies that may reduce or remove the symptoms of tinnitus. Causticum is a homeopathic remedy used if you hear roaring, ringing and rushing sounds accompanied by a burning or a cold air sensation. Those who need Causticum may hear words and sound effects reverberate loudly; they may have lots of earwax, and they may experience some degree of vertigo that improves when they lie down. Conium is a remedy used when you hear ringing, humming and roaring sounds that resemble a windstorm. You may experience aching and stinging ear pains, and your condition may get worse when you lie down. Try Tabacum if the sounds you experience are rushing, whizzing, and humming sounds that resemble an echo or a delay. Your condition may also include motion sickness and nausea. Try a low potency like 12c (where the c stands for 100 times the standard homeopathic unit of potency) one to three times a day until symptoms improve. These treatments may take several months to show an effect.

    Circulation

    • Tinnitus may be caused by problems in the circulatory system. Before trying homeopathic remedies for this condition, begin taking gingko biloba, which is often recommended for conditions related to circulation in the brain. In addition, try Arsenicum if your tinnitus is accompanied by icy limbs, cold sweats, hand and feet cramps and extreme restlessness. Carbo vegitabilis can be used if you have sluggish circulation and if you easily bruise. It may be the best treatment if your tinnitus comes along with exhaustion, weakness and numbness in parts of your body. Veratrum album is used when your tinnitus goes along with leg and feet cramps, a burning sensation in the blood vessels and a tingling sensation in the skin. Consult a homeopath for proper doses of these three remedies, though you cannot go wrong with a low potency dose (12c) once to three times a day.

    Ear Infections

    • Ear infections often go hand in hand with tinnitus. Take care of the ear infection, and you may take a large chunk of the symptoms away from the tinnitus. Try these three remedies if your tinnitus has an ache or an infection. Belladonna should be used if your ear ache is intense, comes on very quickly, and if you have a fever and high temperature. Ferrum phosphoricum may be used if your earache comes on slowly and over time. If your ear is inflamed and pus has begun to build up, try hepar sulphuris calcareum. You may also have a sore throat or a cold if you are experiencing an ear infection that requires this remedy. Visit a homeopath for specific diagnosis and dosing information for these remedies. For the self-dosing type, most of these homeopathic remedies can be found at your local natural foods store.
