Should tinnitus be treated with Liuwei Dihuang Pills or Qiju Dihuang Pills?
Generally speaking, tinnitus can be treated with Liuwei Dihuang Pills or Qiju Dihuang Pills, depending on the specific condition. Patients are advised to take medication as directed by a physician. The details are as follows:
1. Taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), both excess and deficiency conditions of internal organs may cause tinnitus. If tinnitus is caused purely by kidney yin deficiency, patients may follow medical advice to use Liuwei Dihuang Pills for treatment.
2. Taking Qiju Dihuang Pills
If tinnitus results from liver and kidney yin deficiency, patients may follow medical advice to use Qiju Dihuang Pills. Since Qiju Dihuang Pills are based on Liuwei Dihuang Pills with added Lycium (Gouqizi) and Chrysanthemum (Juhua), they are particularly effective in treating tinnitus caused by liver yin deficiency.
In addition, tinnitus may also be treated under medical guidance with other medications such as Bawei Shenqi Pills or Jinkui Shenqi Pills. If patients experience any discomfort, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a hospital to avoid delaying treatment.
