Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

I think licorice raises blood pressure and effects potassium levels, might explain it?

There are two mentions on here that Locorice root tea or the extract have exacerbated tinnitus. After doing some searching, it states "Licorice root can potentially exacerbate tinnitus because it can interfere with fluid balance in the body due to its mineralocorticoid-like effects, which can lead to increased blood pressure and fluid retention, potentially impacting the delicate fluid dynamics within the inner ear"

I just wanted to share this because I had no idea, and I really hope it settles down after only taking the supplement for 4 days. It's crazy how much it exacerbated my auditory symptoms.
