As you read more about tinnitus and tinnitus treatment you will find there is good evidence that herbs can play a big part in many patients’ tinnitus relief programs. This is not to say they are an essential part but we need to agree that they should not be dismissed as hocus pocus. Let me try to put this in perspective for you.

We have all become accustomed to reaching into the medicine cabinet for our relief from pain, for preventative medicines or medical cures. Many of the ailments we treat are admittedly brought on by our modern way of living, what we eat and drink, how we spend our leisure time, the general stress many of us experience. But many ailments have been around for centuries haven’t they? What did folks do in those days?

Let us remind ourselves that the invention of modern chemical medicines is relatively recent. For example Felix Hoffmann invented aspirin in 1897.

Here is an interesting connection – two thousand years earlier the Romans were grinding the leaves and bark of willow trees and using them as a cure for their fevers and for general pain relief. We now know that these contain the natural compound salicin which is very similar to the chemical name for aspirin – acetylsalicylic.

Yes we all know that this is just one example of naturally occurring substances being used to cure ailments long before the invention of modern medicines, so let us not dismiss herb and herbal remedies when we are experimenting with our tinnitus relief therapy.

You will read many testimonials for various herbs being used as part of tinnitus remedies. One of the most frequently mentioned is Gingko Biloba. This is an extract derived from the leaves of a unique species of trees called Ginkgos that are found in China and Japan, and interestingly can grow to a height of up to 160ft. There are many of them so I would guess we are not likely to run out for some time.

Apart from a tinnitus remedy the Gingko Biloba is believed to be an effective treatment for memory loss and dementia. This supplement and most others you may wish to try are readily available from health food shops and of course on line.
Please remember in your search for a tinnitus cure not to experiment with herbs, or anything else for that matter, that are not recognized as being suitable for human consumption. There are plenty already tested and known to be safe. Nevertheless if you have any undesired side effects stop taking it immediately and consult your medical practitioner if necessary.

A few final comments on the use of herbs as part of your tinnitus relief program – like so many other possible tinnitus cures there is still a chance that what works extremely well for me has no effect whatsoever on you. I am afraid that is the nature of tinnitus therapy. So give the herbal treatment a trial period but if after a few weeks you feel no discernible reduction in your tinnitus noise or recurrence you should think about stopping the trial. Wasting money is not a useful part of any tinnitus relief program.
