I have tried several herbal supplements but none of them helps mine. I guess it depends on the reason for the ringing. I think mine is from listening to jet engines and other loud aviation related noises. I seem to ignore mine until I think about it and then it is full force . It is useful when I don't "hear" my wife.

I've asked several different md's at different times if any of those herbal suppliments, etc. or anything else that works on tinnitis and always just get a smile and even an occasional laugh.

Oz that is wonderful!!! e
chickisoup I am on the fence when it comes to herbal supplements for things. There are issues with how effective they are because of standardization problems. Because they do not fall under the FDA, they are not regulated. That concerns me somewhat. I know "real" doctors will most likely "poo poo" them because many doctors are "pushing" the latest and greatest medicines the drug company reps are helping them push. Many of those medicines have possible side effects worse than the disease they are supposed to cure/help. So where does that leave us? I say do your own research into either the supplements or the medicine before taking it. If it works for you, take it. If it doesn't then don't. I had a psychiatrist try to increase DS's antidepressants (this was before they were known to cause suicidal issues with children) based on a single question he asked my son during a first time interview with him that lasted all of 15 minutes. I remember the doc handing me a script and telling me to make sure I set up our next appointment on my way out. Well you can guess what happened. We did not stop at the front desk, we got to the car and never went back. In fact when we got home I chose to take him off the antidepressants myself and thank goodness I did. I think they would have made things worse. I know some of these statements are somewhat blanket statements but I am so fed up with the majority of the medical community that I hate going to the doctor. I am not saying there aren't good docs out there or honest drug reps, it just seems that they are few and far between. IMO (ok done with my two cents and off the soap box now )

I don't take herbals nor smoke herbals...but I have started growing some kitchen herbs for some of my gardening projects. I found out personally the healing properties of Thyme and Rosemary this past winter when I had some skin issues pop up.
