Sarshap Tail Karnapooran With Goghrita Paan In The Management Of Tinnitus – A Case Report

Abstract

Tinnitus, a subjective perception of ringing or buzzing in the ears without external sound, is a widespread clinical problem affecting 10–15% of the global population^1,2. Persistent tinnitus interferes with daily functioning and often leads to insomnia, irritability, and reduced concentration. Modern therapies, including pharmacological agents and sound therapy, offer only partial relief^3,4. Ayurveda correlates tinnitus with Karna Nada, a disorder arising mainly from vitiated Vata dosha obstructing the auditory pathway^5,6. This case report evaluates the efficacy of Sarshap Tail Karnapooran (ear instillation of mustard oil) with Goghrita Paan (oral intake of cow’s ghee) in a middle-aged patient with chronic tinnitus. Significant subjective and objective improvements were observed.
