Ecip
This worked for my daughter. I can't tell you what dose to use. This possibly could make your situation worse. I'm sharing what worked for us and I'm not generalizing that it works for tinnitus. My daughter has neurosensory hearing loss & tinnitus from early childhood. We didn't use it for tinnitus, but discovered this week that the tinnitus had been gone for a few weeks. I don't know exactly how long it took to clear the tinnitus, but she never mentioned it until this past week. She's been on oil since June '16. This was not a one time dose deal where miraculously tinnitus was gone. She had at least been taking twice daily oil for a number of weeks for this to happen, and it was for GI problem - not tinnitus.
We used an organic, lab tested, whole plant "hemp"oil, grown by a botanist adhering to strict safety criteria for very sick kids. The solvents used to extract the oil are all organic & plant based. I think this is critical to quality oil in this kind of free wheeling market with almost no provision for safety. We can review the batch number and lab analysis.Legally, so low THC it's classed as a botanical extract, we use it as a medicine with precise doses. Everything I read says regular recreational cannabis & high THC can aggravate this condition. I did not just grab a high CBD oil online. First, we went through an MD and then bought oil with the MMJ card from a medical marijuana dispensary in Denver. I did more research and found a different grower/ dispensary for subsequent purchases. I needed transparency of production and testing. I called the grower's staff and went and visited them, taking time to drive the four hours, stay overnight, meet and discuss the product, review lab analysis, and then returned home. I suggest if serious, visit the place you buy the oil, check they are truly testing the oil in a state licensed laboratory. Read about how oils vary, from the outdated solvent RSO types, to the organics. I think chemical additives could mess up tinnitus. Some plants are even sprayed with pesticides or have plant diseases. When using the weed you can buy recreationally or oils that are not tested for molds, pesticides etc. , you are not even comparing apples to apples. Find an organic producer and don't just accept when they say they are organic and tested, go see and learn about how quality oils are produced. I can't stress that enough. Sorry to sound preachy, but I wouldn't put something I hadn't fully researched into my daughter and I hope that others will similarly research their product and respect their health.
The first oil was concentration 38mg CBD:2mg in 1ml THC. The second oil is a very similar concentration, with less than 0.3% THC. She was 84lbs when we started. We give 0.4ml x 2 day. ( we use 1ml syringe we special ordered online to get dose exact). This dose was actually recommended by MMJ MD in Denver( same doc on the Sanjay Gupta special) for GI problem that we were actually trying to treat. We tried to lower the dose because it was so effective almost immediately for the GI problem, we figured maybe we were giving more than was necessary. We tried lowering it & GI symptoms came flooding back and so resumed the original dosing. Sorry, I can't give short answers on this issue. We took great care and gave due diligence to finding the right medicine. I'd hate to convey that we just jumped in and bought "weed" or oil & it solved all our problems. My daughter is also followed by our family doc who understands her medications and conditions. She can't prescribe the oil, but makes sure my daughter is medically cared for.
But it really is interesting that it is primarily designed for Epilepsy.. since Tinnitus and Epilepsy seem to have a similar root. I will get in contact with them and see if I'll give it a try. But really interesting, thanks again for posting it!
