Hello,

I recently experienced muscle contractions in the back of my neck, so I massaged my neck and upper back using Arnica-based massage oil (Arnica montana flower, as shown in the attached photo).

A few minutes after the massage, I noticed an increase in my tinnitus.

Could there be a connection with the Arnica? I haven't been able to find any information indicating whether Arnica oil is ototoxic or capable of aggravating tinnitus.

What is your opinion on this?
