You jolly well can, if you take a
holistic approach towards solving your problem. However,
we are coming to that later as other options may be
tried out first. But option or no option, tinnitus could
be killing with its ringing, buzzing, hissing, whooshing
and cracking noises that can turn a person real roving
mad. Horrendous; that’s what it is!
Before
venturing further, here is a small little query for you
to answer. Tinnitus is nothing but a symptom, not the
disease that creates the warning sign. Do you wish to
stop the symptom or put an end to the disease? If I were
in your shoes, I would have preferred the latter since
that would have never given a chance for the nagging
noise to reappear whenever the real disorder raises its
ugly head. I firmly believe that you would agree with me
to take the second course. Very well then – please read
on.
How Can
I Stop Tinnitus: Here Are A Few
Options
Now, there are quite a few ways to
kill the killing noise in your ears. There are OTC medications
available that promise to stop tinnitus. But I would ask
you to steer clear of such formulations as most of them
are either anti-depressants or have anti-allergic
properties. They may provide you with short-term relief
but will load you with enough side effects to last a
lifetime. So, beware and take heed.
If you are
serious about stopping tinnitus, why not try some of the
herbs that are believed to curb the distressing noise.
Since poor blood circulation in the head and neck region
is often linked with tinnitus and the herbal extract of
Gingko biloba is supposed to have properties to solve
the problem, it might prove helpful. But I’ll tell you a
better alternative. Get hold of some black cohosh, mix
it with gingko and take a few sips of that concoction
first thing in the morning for a week. This may provide
you with the desired effect. By the way, there is hardly
anything passionate about passion flowers. In fact, they
are believed to have curative properties on tinnitus. So
are sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. You may try out
each of them separately to see which one suit you
best.
Tinnitus Causes and Contributing
Factors
Tinnitus contributing factors often
reveal the clues to the cure. These may include food and
drink, wearing apparels, allergens – you name it. But
you may have to eliminate them one by one till you hit
on the right item. Takes time, no doubt, but endurance
is the name of the game. The best thing is to check your
lifestyle to pinpoint the cause. Maybe your smoking
habit encourages the tinnitus to spread its tentacles.
Put a brake on puffing cigarettes and see the
difference. Who knows – it might work.
Extra-auditory factors also often
are found to cause tinnitus. Some of these may include
hypertension, hypothyroidism, hyperlipidaemia ,
migraine, diabetes, zinc and vitamin B12 deficiency. If
you want to get rid of tinnitus, don’t forget to check
on these factors too.
If you believe in ‘white papers’ or
‘white lies’, you should also be believing in ‘white noises’
that are often created to mask the tinnitus noise. These
are nothing but pre-recorded CDs depicting various sound
effects like those emanating from the cockpit of a
jetliner tearing through the sky, melodious sound of a
waterfall or murmuring of leaves while on a walk through
the woods. No curative value, true but distraction
point, yes.
Tinnitus Remedies and Permanent
Cure
And now, let us come to the brass
tacks. It is easy to understand that we have so long
been beating around the bush instead of holding the head
by its horns. In other words, we had been stressing upon
the indicators and not the disease that creates those
noisy symptoms. The one and only way of stopping
tinnitus is in taking a holistic approach towards the
issue and solving the problem for good. In fact, the
holistic way of curing this multi-factorial human
disorder is as much exhaustive as it is exacting. It
involves complete reorientation of the victim’s life
that will not only bring about a metabolic change in the
existing structure but will also re-infuse new strength
to combat the destructive forces of the disease (not the
symptoms) that has almost taken away the life force from
the person. Treating the body as whole, holistic
remedies first identifies the root causes of the problem
and only then suggests the remedies. As opposed to this,
conventional remedies just treat the symptoms. No
wonder, holistic remedies work so well in the treatment
of tinnitus. This is indeed the best way to stop
tinnitus.
