Tinnitus is often some kind of sign from the body.
In fact, the ear is a very sensitive organ.
The ear is lined with a great many capillaries.
Metabolism is stimulated by these capillaries.
If blood flow is poor due to low blood pressure or daily lifestyle, this metabolism does not work well and ear function is impaired.
This may be the cause of tinnitus and hearing sensitivity.
Chinese herbal medicine can alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus and hearing sensitivity by improving the constitution.
It can also prevent hearing loss and other lifestyle-related diseases.
The treatment of tinnitus is summarized in "Treatment for tinnitus varies depending on the cause Summary of treatment methods".
Please refer to it.
