Are superstitions old time rumours that got out of hand?

Answer 1

superstitions are just beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation generally based on pagan beliefs but they just get passed down - black cats crossing your path - bad luck, broken mirrors - 7 years bad luck , a fire burning and a hole in it means you are moving, salt spilled is bad luck - throw a pinch over your shoulder will counteract it, teapot lid left off the teapot - someone is coming to the door, a broom falls over someone is comming to the door. Ears are ringing people are talking about you. Just pagan beliefs and depending on the culture is dependent on how many of these superstitions do you know. England is full of them but then they have heave roots in pagansm.

Answer 2

It is almost impossible to live with tinnitus but you don't have to. If you are hearing the noises, whether all the time or intermittently, you must seek treatment immediately. But sadly, conventional treatments only treat the symptoms of tinnitus and may provide temporary relief at best.

The only way you could ever get rid of your tinnitus for good is by following the holistic approach to healing. By using a multidimensional treatment for tinnitus, we are tackling all tinnitus causative factors and eliminating these triggering elements from the root. This is the only path for permanent freedom from tinnitus.
