Whenever the dead of night, he was thinking about meditation or going to bed, but the ear always heard waves or persistent voices. He couldn't keep quiet, but he couldn't avoid this kind of brain-enchanting sound, which really made the tinnitus suffer.

The patient went around for medical treatment and saw that ENT, brain neurology and Chinese medicine were all ineffective. He turned to health foods or imported expensive medicines in the hope that he could relieve the tinnitus.

Among the dazzling array of products, foods or medicines with ginkgo ingredients have been promoted as magical cures for the panacea, and many patients have improved their condition after use. However, is Gingko really effective for tinnitus?

The researchers identified 978 tinnitus patients aged 18-70 years old and were equally divided into two groups of 489 individuals according to various conditions. They conducted a double-blind trial of up to 12 weeks of treatment. Both the patient and the physician were not Know who eats ginkgo product or placebo.

The experimental group took orally three times a day a pill containing 50 mg Ginkgo biloba extract (Ginkgo biloba extract LI 1370) and the control group received three times a day placebo without drug action.

Before, during, and after treatment, participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire and asked about the tinnitus's voice size and influence on daily life to evaluate the effect of Ginkgo biloba on tinnitus. 360 people in each group completed the test and responded to the questionnaire.

Results The researchers found that there was no significant difference between the two groups of participants. Tinnitus was found to improve, taking 34/360 in the experimental group taking ginkgo and 35/360 in the placebo control group.

According to this experiment, it can be seen that the effect of Ginkgo biloba on tinnitus is similar to that of placebo; that is, if the patient thinks Ginkgo biloba can improve the condition of tinnitus, it is most likely due to psychological factors.

Advise members of the public that in the future, if you encounter incurable diseases, you should first seek medical advice and check, instead of asking for elixir everywhere and thinking that you are smart. Because if it is safe and cheap food, it can produce the psychological effect of placebo, that is not serious.

If you spend a lot of money, but you don’t know the origin and composition, the effect is similar to that of a placebo, or even damage healthy products, it’s really not worth it!
