3. Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine indicates that tinnitus can be caused by kidney energy, liver blood, or spleen dampness. Depending on these three main areas, the practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine will perceive a different sound.
Kidney Qi (energy) deficiency, the most common type, is a collapse that results in a high-pitched ringing in the ear.
Spleen dampness causes a dull ringing, and liver Qi deficiency results in a staccato sound.
When there is a “liver Qi rising,” the opposite of a deficiency, one may experience sounds more akin to a whistling or pulsating sensation.
There is a specific product combining eight herbs from Traditional Chinese Medicine that can be tried.
Finally, various holistic practices such as Qi Gong, yoga, relaxation, sophrology, and EFT allow, by calming the nervous system, the restoration of homeostasis and significant improvements.
