Ease Ringing in Quiet Rooms: The Zinc Smoothie Recipe
A zinc-rich smoothie for when the ringing feels most noticeable in a quiet room.
Tinnitus often feels loudest in a quiet room, simply because there's nothing else to mask it — zinc is one of the minerals most frequently studied in connection with tinnitus severity.
What you'll need
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- A handful of fresh spinach
- 1 banana
- 1 cup milk of choice
How to make it
- Add the pumpkin seeds, spinach, banana, and milk to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Drink once daily.
Why people say it works
Zinc deficiency has been studied as a potential factor in some cases of tinnitus, and pumpkin seeds and spinach are two of the more zinc-rich plant foods available. It's a simple, food-based way to make sure this mineral isn't a missing piece of the picture.
This is a home remedy, not a medical treatment. If ringing is sudden, one-sided, or comes with hearing loss or dizziness, see a doctor, since those symptoms deserve proper evaluation.
