Not many people know that feet have a direct connection to the ears, nose, throat and even head. That’s why massaging feet is an important part of treatment for many diseases connected to those parts.

Spray the solution in each nostril until the mixture reaches the deep down in your throat. Use this remedy at least 3-4 times a day for faster relief from tinnitus.
Maidenhair Tree Extract

Avoid sweet foods, tea and coffee. Include foods that are rich in choline, zinc and vitamins A, B and E. Avoid exposure to loud noises. Regular exercises, especially early in the morning, are also very helpful in curing tinnitus faster. Last, but not the least, adequate amount of sleep is also important, at least 7-9 hours every night.
Tinnitus, sometimes, can also be a side effect of certain drugs. Therefore, if you are taking medications, you should talk to your doctor about it. However, the above natural remedies for tinnitus work in almost all cases, regardless of the factors that cause it.
