Tinnitus Relief – Complementary medicines, do they work?
I have just been reading about the use of complementary therapy as a cure for tinnitus, or rather as part of your tinnitus relief program. The results of some trials on the herbal remedy ginkgo biloba are fascinating.
Is it not amazing how many different views there are about whether a complementary medicine recommended for tinnitus relief, or for that matter any other condition is effective or a complete waste of time? I guess it is a case of what works for me may not necessarily work for you.
Let me tell you a true story about homeopathic medicine as an alternative to conventional prescribed medication. This has nothing to do with tinnitus relief, but it does have a lot to do with having an open mind about such matters.
I suffered a seriously painful episode of gout a few years ago. I visited my regular MD and the first prescribed medication worked but had very unpleasant side effects. So I went back to the doctor who prescribed it and was prescribed an additional drug to combat the side effects. Yes, I really was and what is more I accepted that as routine.
Bear with me I shall be back to tinnitus in a minute.
Anyway I carried on with this cocktail for a year or so until one day an alert pharmacist asked me why I was taking so many drugs on a regular basis. She listened as I explained and then recommended me to a particular local homeopathic practitioner named Dr Lessell. I admit I was pretty sceptical but as he was qualified as a regular doctor and a dentist as well I made an appointment.
The result was that within two weeks I was off the prescribed drugs, taking one little poison ivy pill each day, had reduced my salt and red wine intake, and the gout was history – and still is. Thank you Dr Lessell.
Back to my latest read about complementary medicines and your tinnitus relief therapy.
The reports on the trials of ginkgo biloba I have been reading about suggest that the results were not definitive enough. The sample group was split into those who were given the proper ginko biloba, and those that were given a placebo. The result was that a similar number from each group said that the pill had helped to reduce their tinnitus sounds so the trials were said to be inconclusive.
Well excuse me! But if I was given a pill to reduce my tinnitus noises and my tinnitus noises reduced I would be happy. It would be a success as far as I was concerned despite the math results. Oh I know that it is a mental thing and I may have been persuaded or persuaded myself that it would work so it did, but I that is fine by me thank you very much.
I guess I am fortunate because my own tinnitus is controlled by diet, relaxation and sound distraction techniques but if that was not so I would be trying alternatives like complementary therapies and if I found one that worked for me you bet I would keep using it.
My message to you if you are considering alternative or complementary therapy as part of your tinnitus relief program is to do your research, read as much as you can and be open minded. Enjoy and be enthusiastic with the evidence and testimonials offered and if you decide to try something give it a good chance, perhaps three or four weeks, to see if it reduces your tinnitus symptoms.
If alternative medicine works for you be happy and continue to use it as part of your tinnitus relief program. If there is no effect then finish the supply and save your money because wasting money should not be part of any tinnitus relief program.
