Tinnitus Ear Ringing Center

Gingko Biloba as a Treatment for ringing in the ears page 2.

There is considerable evidence from clinical trials to support the therapeutic use of ginkgo biloba GBE for a wide range of cognitive and peripheral vascular conditions, including using ginkgo biloba in treating inner ear deafness. Ginkgo biloba appears to be useful in treating tinnitus (clinical tests show ginkgo biloba has improved hearing loss in the elderly) and vertigo associated with inner ear problems. Other studies suggest that ginkgo biloba GBE may be effective in treating vision problems associated with cerebrovascular insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, and age-related macular degeneration.

There are some things to be aware of when using ginkgo biloba GBE. It is known to reduce clotting time of blood and this may be a problem with people on anticoagulant medications including aspirin and Warfarin (Coumadin). Very large doses of ginkgo biloba can cause mild symptoms of restlessness, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting. As with all herbal and dietary supplements, you should always inform your physician about what you are taking in order to avoid potentially dangerous drug interactions. Gingko biloba may interfere with the action of some prescribed medications as well as anesthesia. 

Good sources for additional ginkgo biloba information include: Nutrition in Complementary Care; The Honest Herbal; The Healing Power of Herbs, The American Cancer Society, and The American Botanical Council.
