Great mullein
Verbascum thapsus
Flower oil was a folk remedy for earache. In a trial in children with acute otitis media, Otikon, a naturopathic herbal ear-drop formulation, eased ear pain as well as anaesthetic drops; mullein was one ingredient of a mixture, so its own effect is unknown.
Tansy
Tanacetum vulgare
In one double-blind trial (103 people analysed) a capsule combining rose hip, nettle and tansy (100 mg twice daily for 3 months) improved tinnitus handicap scores more than placebo; hearing thresholds did not change. The effect cannot be attributed to tansy alone.
