My herbal books say that tinnitus is part of a syndrome of blood deficiency and goes along with dizziness, weakened vision, lethargy, palpitations, skin dryness, poor memory, palor, and weak thready pulse. Or liver deficiency, see below. Treatment would be through blood tonics, or tonics for the liver. A formula of blood tonic Chinese Herbs is: Chief: Rehmannia, cooked Lycium berries (Wolfberry, taste good to me) Chrysanthemum flowers Polygonatum multiflorum ( Ho Shu Wu) Ligustrum lucidum Saw Palmetto berries Assisting: Cornus berries Moutan Peoplny root Poria Alisma Supporting: Dioscorea (Wild Yam)
Sometimes you can find them at a good Chinese grocery if they are labeled in English. Research herbs before taking, but to my way of thinking, many "medicinal" herbs and fruits are foods we eliminate with our narrow Western diet, that we might have consumed if living as more primitive people do who use more of the plants in their environment. All fruits and vegetables we eat have a medicinal effect on the body, nourishing and bringing about health and healing. Deficient liver symptoms would be dry, dull eyes, poor vision, night blindness, dizzines, tinnitus, and dry brittle nails. Helpful tonic herbs would be Donq Quai, Black Sesame seeds ground and eaten with honey, 2 tsp to 3 Tblsp per day, Aloe vera, Iceland Moss, Asparagus root, Borage leaf, Slippery Elm, Longan berries, Marshmallow root, and the following fruits: Mulberry, Blackberry, Raspberry, Huckleberry, Black Currant, dark Grapes, and also Blackstrap molasses. An old friend visited last week and said he had tinnitus, and while driving he ran 4 stop signs. Fortunately we were in the country.
