Talk to any doctor about tinnitus – ringing in the ears – and you’re likely to hear those fateful words: “there is no cure”. There’s nothing you can do for your tinnitus except learn to manage and cope with it – learn to tune it out. Why, then, are companies marketing specific herbal remedies for this common condition? What is the link between ginkgo biloba and tinnitus?
What Is Ginkgo Biloba?
Ginkgo biloba herbal remedies are taken from the tree of the same name. This extract has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, and is commonly used in the Western world to enhance blood flow through the body. As such, it is used to treat or prevent a number of conditions related to the brain, including memory loss, Alzheimer’s and dementia. It’s also commonly used by tinnitus sufferers.
Has The Link Between Ginkgo Biloba And Tinnitus Been Proven?
As with many herbal treatments, more studies are needed to prove the link between ginkgo biloba and tinnitus. There have been some studies into its effects, however, which seem to suggest that it works no better than a placebo. The British Tinnitus Association (BTA), for example, found no noticeable effects on a study of 2000 tinnitus sufferers.
Should You Take It?
Despite the fact that studies suggest that ginkgo as ineffective as a treatment for tinnitus, it’s not quite that simple. For one, many people swear by the remedy in helping to improve the symptoms. The BTA also claim that it has helped to improve general wellbeing in a number of patients which, in turn, has left them in a better state to manage and deal with their tinnitus psychologically.
Keeping yourself well, both in body and mind, it essential to fighting tinnitus. The more run down you get, the more likely it is that you’ll focus on the ringing and the detrimental effect it has on your life. Staying healthy, through the use of safe natural supplements such as ginkgo biloba, is useful for keeping your tinnitus under control.
You should always check with a doctor before using any form of herbal supplement, as even natural treatments come with side effects and may interact with other medicine. That said, the main drawback of ginkgo biloba is the cost. Most tinnitus organizations recommend you try it if you can afford it; if you find it helps in any way, then keep using it to manage your tinnitus.
