TINNITUS AND VERTIGO

A ringing in the ears, or noises in the ears is called tinnitus. Many people suffer from this problem, especially at they get older. If you are suffering from tinnitus have it properly diag­nosed by your practitioner, to determine the cause. There are many causes, the main one being an interruption of the cerebral blood supply or a functional disorder, or it could be drug-related. Aspirin and quinine can cause tinnitus.
If it is a circulation problem, then ginkgo can help. Gingko has been used for thousands of years and is the oldest tree in the world, or one of the oldest species in the world. Many medical trials have been carried out into its uses for cerebral vascular disorders and tinnitus and for vertigo, a disturbance of the sense of balance, are two of the types of disorders which can be treated.
Other herbs that have shown to be of benefit are black cohosh and betony. The minerals magnesium phosphate and potassium phosphate have shown good results.
The diet should be a low cholesterol, low refined-carbohydrate diet. Essential omega 6 and 3 fatty acids are important as sup­plements which increase red-cell deformability and a reduction in blood viscosity which can improve blood flow to the affected areas.
