Detailed Information

Understanding Tinnitus

Tinnitus affects approximately 15-20% of people and is often a symptom of underlying conditions like hearing loss, ear injury, or circulatory system disorders. It can range from mildly annoying to severely debilitating, affecting sleep, concentration, and mental health.

How CBD May Help

While direct evidence for CBD treating tinnitus is limited, CBD may help manage the associated anxiety, sleep disturbances, and stress that worsen tinnitus perception. The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD may also benefit cases where tinnitus is related to neuroinflammation or ear canal inflammation.

Ayurvedic Perspective

Ayurveda describes tinnitus as Karnanada, a Vata disorder. Bilva Taila (medicated ear oil), Sarivadi Vati, and Dashamoola are traditional treatments. Karna Poorana (warm oil ear therapy) is a specialized Ayurvedic practice for ear health and tinnitus management.
