How to treat tinnitus and dizziness? An old Chinese doctor tells you several methods

The ears are an important part of our auditory system. Once there is a problem with the ears, it will affect people's acceptance of external sounds. Tinnitus is a sound felt in the ears or head that can be disturbing and make it difficult for people to sleep. Traditional Chinese medicine can treat tinnitus and dizziness through the following methods.

1: Caffeine and alcohol often aggravate tinnitus symptoms; smoking can reduce blood oxygen, and the inner ear hair cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen, so lack of oxygen can cause damage to the hair cells. Usually, you should pay attention to eating less fatty and sweet foods to prevent stagnation of phlegm and aggravation of the condition. People with tinnitus due to kidney deficiency should especially reduce the intake of warm and dry foods.

1: For example, press the Hegu point (located on the back of the hand, between the thumb and index finger, about two inches from the base of the thumb), the Tinggong point (close to the front of the tragus, in the depression after opening the mouth) and the Xiaguan point (located in front of the ear, in the depression under the cheekbone). Each acupoint can be pressed repeatedly for one minute to help improve tinnitus problems. In addition, if you also have dizziness problems, you can press the Taichong point (located on the dorsum of the foot, two inches above the middle of the big toe and second toe) to improve the condition.

1: Tinnitus caused by neurasthenia is obviously related to social environment and psychological factors. When a person is depressed, angry, out of control, or anxious, it will cause autonomic nervous system abnormalities, the whole body will tense up, and blood vessels will contract abnormally, leading to ischemia of the inner ear and causing atrophy and degeneration of the inner hair cells and other lesions. If one can adjust oneself, face everything with a normal mind, and achieve a state of physical and mental balance, the symptoms will naturally disappear.

1: Excessive intake of lipid foods will increase blood lipids, blood viscosity and cause arteriosclerosis. The inner ear is most sensitive to blood supply disorders. When blood circulation disorders occur, it will lead to lack of nutrition for the auditory nerve, thus causing deafness. The total daily fat intake of middle-aged people should be controlled at about 40 grams, and they should eat less fat-rich foods such as animal offal, fatty meat, cream, egg yolks, caviar, fried foods, etc.

1: Breathing regulation is also very convenient. Every night when you go to bed, lie on your side (either side is fine), plug your ear holes with the middle fingers of both hands, relax your body, and when you exhale (regardless of inhaling), send the air to the soles of your feet (focus on the soles of your feet). If you have a stuffy nose, you can ventilate it in less than three minutes (the nasal cavity and ear cavity are connected, so it can cure tinnitus). Do this for ten minutes every night.

It is caused by excessive fire in the gallbladder, which disturbs the clear orifices, causing qi deficiency and blood stasis, kidney essence deficiency, and malnutrition of the clear orifices. Traditional Chinese medicine often uses acupuncture, moxibustion, acupoints, and Chinese patent medicine to treat tinnitus. Traditional Chinese medicine is not only slow in treating tinnitus, but also has a long process, slow effects and poor results. Moreover, long-term use of the drug can cause serious damage to the liver and kidney functions of the body. Traditional Chinese medicine is not suitable for every tinnitus patient. This is because the causes of tinnitus are relatively complex, and the treatments for tinnitus caused by different reasons are also different.
