Tinnitus is the perception of sound in absence of any external input.
In Ayurveda it is correlated to karna nada. Which is caused by vitiation of vata. Vata gets lodged in sabdavaha srotas and causes different sounds.
Karnapoorana is described as a preventive measure for ear disease and a treatment modality.
During the process loe down left side or right side, gentle massage with lukewarm oil around the ear, mild hot fomentation done. The medicated oil should also be warmed by keeping in lukewarm water. The liquid should be poured by slightly pulling the pinna of ear. You should maintain in same position for 5 minutes. Gentle massage over root of ear can be done.
1. Mahamasha tailam 5 drops in each ear for 7 days. 2. Sarivadi vati 1 bd after food. 3. Aswagandha choornam 1/2 tsp with warm milk once a day.
Take care, Dr. Shaniba
