Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / August 2005Er long Zuo Ci & acuptunre
Hi all, my ringing in my ears has progressively got worse other the last 5years so I have seeked help from a Chinese Herb shop. I have just started my treatment of Er Long Zuo Ci and my first acupuncture treament session will follow in the next few days. I also feel alot of pressure in my forehead on either sides and they say that this could be due to the constant ringing! I will keep you posted on my experience... One thing i find that helps at night is to listen to white noise on a cd lopped. This masks the tinnitus completely. Wish me luck! Hi Monk, Acupuncture certainly seems to help some people. I guess it is because of the relaxing effect. Have you read this? http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.shtml Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >Hi all, my ringing in my ears has progressively got worse other the >last 5years so I have seeked help from a Chinese Herb shop.

Of course, various energy or meridian points produce different kinds of chemical secretions. How the Chinese managed to find this out thousands of years ago is beyond the understanding of many of us. FP The reason why I am trying acupuncture is that I do at times feel electrical current running in the head & down my spine - I know this could be stress or nerves but it is a strange feeling. I read an interesting article that radioactive tracers were injected into acupuncture points in a living human body and a picture was taken with a gamma camera. The picture showed a mederian system or lines running through the body similar to a computer circuit board. I believe the most important thing trying out this alternative healing is to find a acupuncturist who knows what he is doing and is not one who learnt it part-time in evening classes. The guy who will be treating me has been doing this for 30years so i'm lead to believe. White noise , I have tried natural sounds like waterstreams, beaches, forests but things like wild birds singing & interferes with my sleep! With white noise there is none of this but constant noise & I find it quite easy to drift off to sleep. These days it is hard to find white noise on tvs or radios coz the digital tuners dont allow you to pick them up. Hi Monk, Here is a page where you can download some free and trial sound generators. http://www.relaxingsoftware.com/tinmaskerhome.htm Hope these help, athena > White noise , I have tried natural sounds like waterstreams, beaches, > forests but things like wild birds singing & interferes with my sleep! > With white noise there is none of this but constant noise & I find it > quite easy to drift off to sleep.

Move to another method or doctor after the third time if it does not work. FP Hi, I have had my first acupuncture treatment today. The Doctor inserted needles in both feet, ankles, knees, hands & behind ears. I felt a little tingle in certain places but quite a pleasant experience. He left me for about 20mins or so before he removed the needles. After wards he gave me a 5min massage around my Head, neck & neck. After treatment I felt very tired - has anyone else experienced this? To soon to advise if this has helped (tinnitus still alive) but have another 2 sessions to go before I judge it! One session a week is enough. If you don't get any reaction after 2, you perhaps may not want to go for the 3rd or want someone else. Hi.I had 10 sessions of ...expensive!..acupuncture and unfortunately it made no difference whatsoever for me.. Try another one for TWO and see if it makes a difference. If you experience nothing after 2, forget it. The cause can be somewhere else. > One thing i find that helps at night is to listen to white noise on a > cd lopped.

FWIW I've posted a .wav file of Violet Noise at www.detinnitiser.com Forget all the other stuff there; just download this sound and play it in a seamlessly repeating audio player, or dub it to a CD. I find this sound keeps me tinnitus-free overnight if I play it by the bed. Violet noise (for me) is more effective than white noise. Steve Hi all, just to let you know that I have now completed 3 sessions of acupuncture & chinese medicine but unfortunately my report is bad news. There has been no improvement with my tinnitus.......... > Hi all, just to let you know that I have now completed 3 sessions of > acupuncture & chinese medicine but unfortunately my report is bad > news.
