Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tinnitus

Tinnitus – the ringing, buzzing or humming sounds in the ears – can be very distressing in daily life. Stress, fatigue and sleep problems often make it worse and affect overall well-being. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a natural and holistic way to help relieve these symptoms.

A different way of understanding tinnitus

In TCM, tinnitus is not seen as just an ear problem. It is often linked to an imbalance of energy in the body, especially involving the Kidneys (connected to the ears) and the Liver (related to stress and tension). Depending on the person, the noise may come from low energy, excess tension, or poor circulation.

Acupuncture to ease the symptoms

Acupuncture helps restore balance in the body and calm the nervous system. By improving circulation and reducing tension, it can lessen the intensity of tinnitus and make it easier to cope with.

Herbs and lifestyle support

TCM also uses herbal formulas to strengthen the body and support weakened systems. Alongside this, a suitable diet and gentle practices like Qi Gong can help reduce stress, which often makes tinnitus worse.

A natural and personalized approach

Because every person is different, TCM offers personalized care. Rather than just masking the sound, it aims to address the root cause of the imbalance and support long-term well-being.
