🔔 Tinnitus (Karna Nada): Specialized Ayurvedic Management with Tailored Ahara & Vihara at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital
🧠 Introduction
Tinnitus, or Karna Nada in Ayurveda, is the perception of sounds such as ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears without any external stimulus. At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we offer specialized and personalized Ayurvedic therapies combined with Ahara Vihara (diet and lifestyle) guidance to address the root causes of tinnitus and offer long-term relief.
🪔 Understanding Tinnitus (Karna Nada)
Continuous or intermittent ringing, buzzing, clicking, or hissing sounds in one or both ears

Affects Shrotra Vaha Srotas (auditory channels) and Nadi (nervous system)
Leads to disturbed sound perception and nerve sensitivity
🔸 Other Contributing Factors
Shrotra Vaha Srotas Dushti: Damage to auditory channels
Manovaha Srotas Dushti: Mental channel disturbances, often due to stress or anxiety
Agni Mandya and Ama: Impaired digestion and toxin accumulation
