Dherbs Approach...adjusting your diet is always key!

  • Taking control of the sounds you encounter is the best remedy for Ringing in the Ears.  Avoiding exposure to loud noises, sounds, and environments can help alleviate the pain.  Although avoiding loud noises can help, it does not bring comfort to be in complete silence as it can also be an irritant.  It’s best to keep a balanced noise environment, one that’s not too loud or quiet.  To help balance the sound level at night when sleeping you can leave a fan or generator on to keep the room from being completely silent.  This remedy is called white noise.  It helps to lessen the ringing.
  • If you have wax build up, this can contribute to Ringing in the Ears.  There are various ways to naturally remove earwax built up over time.  Ear candling or ear irrigations using peroxide and natural oils can help decrease the amount of wax present.  You can also try using a saline solution, which consists of warm water and salt, to flush the wax from the ear.
  • Adjusting your diet and consuming foods that provide benefits to the body is always best.  Eliminating things like salt, caffeine, alcohol, processed foods, and tobacco helps as all of these things impair blood circulation and affect fluid retention.  Eating foods that increase blood circulation and decrease inflammation is best.
  • Prevention is always key to helping with any condition.  You should avoid the use of Q-tips or cotton swabs and anything else entering the ear.
  • Decreasing the amount of stress in your life is a great natural remedy for any health issues you may be experiencing.  The body always responds to stress and it can pose a threat on your health both physically and mentally.  Reducing the amount of stress in your life can also help eliminate the anxiety one usually experiences with Ringing in the Ears.  People usually have anxiety because of the symptoms that are associated with the disorder.  When you reduce your stress levels, the ringing isn't as severe. 
  • Mustard Seed Oil, olive oil, garlic, and onion extracts all have antibacterial properties that can help with the Ringing in the Ears.  You can warm the oils or extracts and put them in one ear for a few minutes and then let it drain.
  • Ensuring that you get the proper rest at night can help.  Sleeping helps to heal the body and makes repairs when the body is at rest.  The fluid in the body affects your blood vessels.  When a person gets the proper rest at night it helps improve their brain function and blood vessels, specifically helping to decrease Ringing in the Ears.
