The term “music to my ears” makes some sufferers of tinnitus cringe. The American Tinnitus Association says that the condition affects over 50 million Americans. That’s an astounding 1 in 5 people with a chronic ringing in their ears! While many people just sort of “live” with it, there are at least 12 million Americans who suffer insomnia, diminished work productivity and mental distress from their symptoms. Chinese herbal formulas - like Clear Tinnitus - combine herbs that are proven to naturally increase circulation, normalize ear fluids, balance the ear-hypothalamus pathway and send more oxygen to the head. Of course, a Chinese herbal formula isn’t a magic elixir, but rather natural herbal supplements that ease the distressing symptoms.

Are you thinking of creating a Chinese herbal formula at home? It is really very cost efficient and easy to do once you have the basics down! Trade in those expensive cold medicines for a home brewed echinacea elixir! Before you begin concocting a herbal formula on your own, a visit to a herbalist is always a good idea to determine your individual needs.

The best container for making your Chinese herbal formula is preferably ceramic (but glass is ok too). You should avoid cast iron or metals because some herbs create chemical reactions with those materials. Your teapot should also have a lid, which you should never lift while cooking, as it can allow the vital healing properties to escape. In ancient times, the preferred water used came from a spring, although today you can fill your pot with whatever you prefer.

For recipes and Chinese herbal formulas, you may want to pick up a book at your local bookstore. For instance, “Herbs For Beauty” by Qing Yan gives ancient Chinese secrets for face wash and skin rejuvenation. Or perhaps you want a beginner’s guide, like Sandy Maine’s “Simple Herbal Recipes” book. For a more traditional approach focused on ancient methods, check out “The Healing Power of Chinese Herbs and Medicinal Recipes.” There are, of course, many books on the subject so it’s recommended that you make a trip to the bookstore, rather than trying to scour the internet.
