Natural Remedies For Tinnitus – Glutamate

Natural Remedies For Tinnitus

The majority of the foods on our supermarket shelves have undergone some degree of refinement or chemical alteration to make them taste better. The primary additive is a flavour enhancer called monosodium glutamate (MSG), which breaks down into glutamate in the body. Like aspartame, glutamate is another excitatory neurotransmitter that causes the nerve cells to repeatedly fire until they die. Glutamate can, therefore, be a root cause of tinnitus.

 

As manufacturers of monosodium glutamate are not required to call it MSG on the label, it is often disguised as yeast food, hydrolysed yeast, autolysed yeast, yeast extract, sodium caseinate, natural flavouring, vegetable protein, hydrolysed protein, other spices and natural chicken or turkey flavouring. This product can also trigger neurological allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, itching, hives, headaches, bloating, upset stomach, excessive thirst, restlessness, chest pain, joint pain and severe depression.

Natural Relief From Tinnitus – A Nutritional Approach To Tinnitus

Natural Relief From Tinnitus

You have probably noticed that sometimes your tinnitus seems to worsen for no apparent reason. Surprisingly, your recent diet could hold a few clues. For instance, you may have eaten salty ham, processed peas and chips sprinkled liberally with salt prior to a temporary worsening of your tinnitus or you may have consumed junk food or food high in refined sugar – cakes, pastries and biscuits, for example. Your diet can cause an increase in noise, but if you are careful what you eat the next day, you are likely to return to your norm. It can be seen, then, that those who have a poor diet suffer more from tinnitus than they need to.

 

It is widely accepted that a healthy, balanced diet is capable of improving many health conditions. In tinnitus, a good diet can not only directly lower the volume of the noises but it will also improve your overall state of health and, as a result of that, your levels of fatigue and stress should drop, which will improve the situation further.

Treatments For Ringing In The Ears – Relaxation

Treatments For Ringing In The Ears

Long-term frustration and anxiety invariably lead to chronic stress – a state of being constantly 'on alert'. The physiological changes associated with this state – a fast heart-rate, shallow breathing and muscular tension – often persist over a long period, making relaxation very difficult. Chronic stress can lead to nerviness, hypertension, irritability and depression.

 

Deep Breathing

In normal, relaxed breathing, we take oxygen from the atmosphere down into our lungs. The diaphragm contracts and air is pulled into the chest cavity. When we breathe out, we expel carbon dioxide and other waste gases back into the atmosphere. Continue reading →

Help For Tinnitus Sufferers

Many experts believe that multiple health factors need to be addressed to achieve improvements in cases of chronic tinnitus. These factors are discussed in this post.

 

Key ingredients for good health

This means that our mental, emotional and spiritual states of health are just as important for protection from disease as are diet and exercise. Continue reading →

Ringing In Ear Dizziness – Tinnitus Common Therapies

Regression Therapy

Regression therapy is one form of hypnotherapy. In regression therapy, the client is regressed to a time before the onset of the tinnitus to discover the trigger of the noise, if it is unknown. Approximately half of all individuals do not know how their tinnitus onset. This will come out in therapy, in most cases. Generally speaking, from this point the therapist can help the client in a couple of ways.

 

The therapist may have the client simply re-experience onset over and over until the emotional impact becomes boring or even amusing to the client. This is an effective form of systematic desensitization that re-educates the amygdala, so it no longer sends out the flight-or-fight survival responses into the brain and body. Continue reading →
