Tinnitus is not a disease by itself; it is a symptom of some other disorder. People who suffer from Tinnitus in some cases experience wide range of noises, and loudness of them may be just annoyingly low or loud causing debilitating pain.

Treatments and Alternatives for Tinnitus
Each case of Tinnitus is somehow different and this is why is so difficult to recommend just one sort of treatment or therapy. Herbs and homeopathic remedies are sometimes very effective treatments for Tinnitus cases. In any case we will recommend some types of treatments, therapies and alternative therapies, but you must consult your doctor before use any of them.
Minerals and Vitamins
Recommended minerals and vitamins or their supplement for Tinnitus problems are zinc, potassium, magnesium, melatonin, bioflavonoids and vitamins C, B and A.

Bioflavonoids and vitamins promote blood circulation and thus relieve the symptoms of Tinnitus.
Vitamins E and B, zinc and folic acids have been recommended by the herbal and nutritional supplement experts for cases of Tinnitus.

Cranio sacral therapy, acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen tank therapy, magnet therapy and hypnosis are some of the alternative therapies in cases of Tinnitus. Although there have been improvements in number of cases of Tinnitus problems, medical researchers find the overall results inconclusive.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is recognized by medical experts as legitimate alternative therapy for various disorders. In cases of Tinnitus aromatherapy can promote poor blood circulation, which is the one of possible causes of Tinnitus. Aromatherapy essential oils like lemon, rose, rosemary and cypress are four recommended oils in Tinnitus treatment. These four essential oils can be used via vaporizer, in a head massage or in aromatherapy diffuser.
