If you're suffering from pulsatile tinnitus then you are in the 3% of tinnitus sufferers who suffer this particular form of tinnitus. And you know that the sounds you hear have a rhythm that matches your pulse and heartbeat. Sometimes called pulsating tinnitus, these rhythmic sounds are produced by an increase or decrease in the blood flowing through the arteries and veins of the neck and base of the skull, and, the small blood vessels in the ears.
So what causes this change in blood flow? There are several reasons, for example; hypertension (high blood pressure); malformed capillaries between arteries and veins; twisted arteries changing blood flow; increased flow through heavy exercise, anemia or an overactive thyroid; turbulent flow because of hardening of the arteries, etc.
You can appreciate that if you can reduce hypertension and improve the blood flow then you should be able to reduce or even get rid of the pulsating tinnitus symptoms, depending on the root cause.
So the 3 simple tips to help cure pulsatile tinnitus are:-
1 - Reduce hypertension through changing to a low fat, low cholesterol, salt-free diet, combined with regular daily exercise. Also, relieve stress through exercise, reading, taking up a relaxing hobby, etc.
2 - Treat anemia by eating iron rich foods like green leaf vegetables, prunes, raisins, bran flakes, brown rice, lentils, hole grain flour bread and pasta, and of course liver.
3 - Improve blood flow by taking Ginkgo biloba extract. This natural herbal remedy contains Terpenoids which can improve blood flow, by dilating blood vessels and making the 'platelets' in the bloodstream less sticky.
