This is quite interesting. My grandmother suffered with serious tinnitus, and after running out of options took the advice of a local herbalist to brew a tea from this plant and drink a small quanity first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

It actually worked, believe it or not, and I guess it probably is due to the plant's "calming effects" on the agitated nerve, being part of the cannabis family.

(My grandma was really cool, but I never thought of her as a recreational drug user... )

Now, I am a huge sceptic when it comes to herbal medicine, but I guess anything is worth trying once?
