      Home Remedies

      Saline solution is very helpful in opening blocked passages or getting rid of excess fluid that can be causing tinnitus. This is a very good solution for those who suffer from tinnitus caused by clogged sinuses.

      Put a few drops of warm mustard oil in the ear. Mustard oil increases blood circulation naturally since it is a rubefacient. It also has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties and thus is very helpful in treating infections in your ear.

      • Managing stress – Emotional stress is oftentimes linked with hearing symptoms or discomfort in the ears such as tinnitus and dizziness. Stress should be avoided as it contributes to the onset or worsening of tinnitus.
      • Daily exercise
      • Dietary modifications such as increased intake of vitamin B12 and zinc
      • Meditation
      • Proper cleaning of the ears
      • Avoiding the use of cotton earbuds
      • Stop smoking - Smoking harms blood flow to the sensitive nerve cells that control your hearing. It also acts as a stimulant in your body. This can make the ringing in your ears sound louder.
      • Add soothing sounds to silence. Tinnitus may bother you more when it’s quiet.
      So, try these tips to distract yourself from the ringing in your ears:
      • Play soft music in the background
      • Listen to the radio
      • Turn on a fan
      • Find ways to relax.
      • Practice good sleep habits for more restful sleep:
      • Make your bedroom dark and cool.
      • Use a fan or white-noise machine if your bedroom is too quiet.
      • Set aside 7 to 9 hours for sleep at night.
      • Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
      • Develop a bedtime routine, such as taking a relaxing warm bath right before bedtime.
      • Make sure your bed and pillows are comfortable and supportive.
      • Avoid exercise, food, and alcohol 2 to 3 hours before going to sleep.
      • Exercise at least three to five times a week. Exercise eases many problems that seem to go along with tinnitus. It is a mood booster for just about everyone.

      Exercise can:

      • Lower stress
      • Improve your sleep
      • Fight depression
      • Protect your hearing
      • Tinnitus can be a side effect of some illnesses.
      Ask your practitioner whether any of these conditions might be a cause of the ringing in your ears:
      • Thyroid disorders
      • High blood pressure
      • Lyme disease
      • Fibromyalgia
      • Ear wax buildup
      • Jaw misalignment
      • Traumatic brain injury
      • Stroke
      • Diabetes

       

       Reflexology

      There are two Reflexology methods that you can try for Tinnitus: Ear Reflexology and Foot Reflexology. You may combine both feet and ear methods, or if you are not up to doing both, do the ear reflexology technique one day and the feet the next.

      Feet, hands and ears have thousands of nerve endings. In the feet, the nerve endings for the ears are located under the fourth and third toes of each foot and hands.. Starting with the right foot or right hand, press firmly under fourth and third toe or finger for 3 seconds, release and repeat for two more times. Repeat on the left foot and hand.

      In the ears, the ear reflexology points are located where you would insert an earring; on right earlobe, the ear point is located on the right side of the hole and the left ear lobe, the ear reflex point is on the left side of the earring hole.

      Start with the right ear lobe, stroke from the top to the bottom of the right side ear lobe over and over for 10 seconds and do the same for the left ear lobe.

      Practice this technique several times a day until you start to feel better.

       Bio-Energetic Balancing Remedies Suggestions
      Run an ear scan. Look for toxicity and nerve issues in the scan and work with what you find: infections or other toxins, circulation issues, etc. Using the search criteria, add the auditory nerve (cochlear nerve) to the HT. Note if there are upper cervical issues in your scan. If so, suggest chiropractor or target the cervical spine with the laser. Use the search criteria to add energies for symptoms and also add the above listed homeopathics. Imprint into a correlating homeopathic and you may also imprint the laser and target the ear.
