Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi I am a new member of the forum. I have been diagnosed with Tinnitus in my left ear. I am 48 years old female from Toronto, Canada and on 9th December 2007 (2 months ago) I woke up with a sharp and loud sound in my left ear which scared me. Throughout the day it came on and off and also during the next week once a day. Thereafter it has continued in my left ear, sometimes loud and sometimes moving within my head and skull including giving me headaches and ear pain including itchiness in both ears. I got very scared and started taking Vitamin B supplements and B12 including iron since my iron count is 14. I also started calcium+magnesium tablets, gingko biloba etc. The ENT doctor says all is fine with me and hearing is okay too, the CT scan shows no tumour etc. The allopathic family doctor prescribed Effexor 150 mg to take away my depression but I do not want to be hooked on to anti depressants and am confident that ayurveda I occassionally suffer from sinus but I have a history of lower back problem since 1979 and now since the past 1-2 years pain in my right shoulder and at times in my neck too. I have joined yoga classes since 6 months which I go to 3 times a week and enjoy doing that. But the cold weather in Canada is now depressing me and I hate it. I went to the US to visit a renowned Ayurvedic doctor who was visiting from India and he says I have a lot of " vayu " in my body and my stomach is not okay etc. (I am constipated for which I take churan and isabgol each night which helps me being regular). Also, he said because of the excess vayu in my body which has moved up from my lower back pain to my shoulder and neck pain I have developed this tinnitus in my ear but with the herbs prescribed (I should get within 2 weeks) my vayu will improve and my weight will come down too since I am tall, big built but on the heavy side. The herbs prescribed are amrutras, anulom, divwshwas Jivan, Rasnadi guggul, Sandiyog, Suhruday, Sukarna and Sumedha 95. Please tell me if there is anything I can add or home made remedies that will help me to reduce the vata (vayu) quicker so my tinnitus will disappear and also what I should do in order to prevent it from increasing or moving to another ear. I have read about Ashwagandha herbal preparation on this forum or bilva tailam and kshar tailam including Brihad Vata Chintamani Ras. I am ready to take anything that will help me to get rid of this problem which is causing me stress and depression and lack of peace. Also, where can I get the products which are genuine. I work as an administrative assistant and am on the computer 8 hours a day to earn my living and cannot escape the computer. Please help me and answer my request even though it is long since I thought I should put in all the details. Thank you very much in advance.
