Vertigo refers to the sensation of moving while the body is standing still.
People with vertigo may feel as though they are moving or spinning, or that the
environment is actually moving or spinning.
Homeopaths often search for 'vertigo' in the repertory in place of 'dizziness'
Medical experts point to physical disturbances within parts of inner ear to explain
vertigo.
The vestibular connects the part of the inner ear that controls balance to the
brainstem. [peripheral vertigo]
A brain or brain stem disturbance than causes vertigo imbalance [central vertigo]
Related symptoms of vertigo include: difficulty swallowing, facial paralysis,
double vision, blurry vision, slurred speech, or weakness or immobility of the
extremities.
If the patient experiences vertigo due to trauma, Arnica montana can be helpful
during the early stages of treatment. Symptoms include dizziness during quick
movements, mild nausea and feeling better when lying quietly in a darkened room.
If dizziness is caused by inadequate cerebral circulation, Baryta carbonica may be
prescribed.
If a person has M�ni�re's disease, and has vertigo that occurs with any sudden
movement, Bryonia alba is helpful.
A patient with ear disease and urinary disorders should use Causticum.
Someone with M�ni�re's disease could benefit from Cinchona (China) officinalis,
especially when dizziness is associated with nausea, fainting and tinnitus.
If dizziness occurs when lying down or turning in bed and gets worse when moving
the head slightly or turning to the left, Conium maculatum could help.
When the head feels empty, the eyes are sunken and the pupils are dilated, combined
with persistent dizziness with nausea and salivation, a homeopath might suggest
Granatum.
When the human voice is hard to hear and sounds echo, when dizziness occurs after
rising, and the patient experiences burning pains and chronic head congestion,
Phosphorus is a good remedy.
Dizziness that starts from the back of the head, combined with a headache, which
leads to double vision and imbalances while walking, would lead a homeopath to
consider Gelsemium.
If a patient experiences vertigo while rising from bed or traveling on a vehicle or
boat, sometimes with nausea or vomiting; feels pain in the back of the head when
not lying on his or her back; and feels weakness from lack of sleep, Cocculus may
be used. Other symptoms include feeling worse from eating or drinking, rising up
from bed, or exposure to bright light, but when lying down the person usually feels
better.
A patient who feels dizzy from looking up and experiences a sensation of falling
forward, with a headache felt from the back of neck to the top of head, a homeopath
might consider Silicea as an option. The patient probably has a nervous temperament
and sweats profusely from the palms and soles.
A M�ni�re's disease patient who experiences increased dizziness while raising the
head and has noises in the ears may benefit from Natrum Salicylicum.
