A lot of buzz is being made about natural tinnitus remedies and their ability to cure tinnitus once and for all. However, how do you know that these remedies really work? In this article I am going to talk about some natural remedies for tinnitus, and whether they have any merit or not.
One natural remedy for tinnitus that I recently heard about is to eat more pickles. Now, I enjoy pickles, and they’re not bad for you, but I really don’t see where they can stop the ringing in your ears. Drinking pickle juice has been shown to reduce cramps, and many athletes drink pickle juice when their muscles become dehydrated. However, based on my research and experimentation, I don’t think this is an adequate cure for tinnitus.
Another cure I recently heard about is aromatherapy. There seems to be some merit to this, because aromatherapy has been shown to put people into a relaxed and calm state. However, tinnitus sufferers will only benefit from aromatherapy if their tinnitus is caused by stress or anxiety, which more often than not is not the underlying problem. This method might work, but it’s not one you want to put a lot of faith in.
Another one of the natural remedies for tinnitus that is getting a lot of attention is increasing vitamin B-12 in your diet. I am not a doctor and I do not give medical advice, however consulting with your doctor and starting a vitamin regiment can be a great way to help curb your tinnitus.
