Our clinical staff have made the following notes, regarding er long zuo ci wan.
In TCM there are several different patterns that can lead to tinnitus, this formula is specific for kidney yin deficiency. In theory, the yin keeps yang in check; deficient yin can result in a relative excess of yang. Since the kidney system governs the ear, the relative excess kidney yang can rise up and basically get trapped in the ear, which results in tinnitus.
