Vertigo is sensation of objects moving and spinning around. It\u2019s an inner ear disturbance involving the eyes or visual stimuli. Your inner ear\u2019s function is for balance and perception for positioning.<\/p>\n

Causes are most commonly inflammation of inner ear parts, acoustic neuroma (nerve blockage), cerebral artery disease, spinal degeneration, high blood pressure, anemia, thyroid problems, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, hyperventilation syndrome, anxiety disorders, stroke, Parkinson\u2019s, or Meniere\u2019s syndrome.<\/p>\n
Most common acute cause is inner ear inflammation (Labyrinthitis) and responds quickly to homeopathy. Acute vertigo is associated with upper respiratory infections and tinnitus (ear noises). Be aware that dizziness can also be a warning sign of heart attack, stroke, concussion, or brain damage.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Robin Murphy, N.D., my mentor, if the episodes are short, the prognosis is good. If the episodes are long lasting it is usually neurological. In older women, it may be a sign of mini-strokes or TIA, or could be a sign of Meniere\u2019s disease where there is an infection of the Eustachian canals. The chronic condition of Meniere\u2019s syndrome has severe nausea, hearing loss, and tinnitus (ear noises), and may lead to total one-sided hearing loss. It may also be a sign of a tumor.<\/p>\n
Modern medicine treats vertigo with anything from low-sodium diets and diuretics to nausea medicines, antidepressants, or surgery.<\/p>\n
From the natural point of view, vertigo should be looked at as either a nerve problem, ear or Eustachian tube blockage, or kidney weakness.<\/p>\n
Natural solutions<\/strong> include feeding the nerves, reducing Eustachian tube mucus, and strengthening the kidneys. One of the best things you can do is go off dairy products as well as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black tea, and soda pop. This will help keep the ears clear and functioning better.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Herbs are plants valued for their specific strengthening\/ tonifying properties.<\/p>\n The following herbs are directed toward helping the body to clear the ears of inflammation and congestion, or feed the nervous system.<\/p>\n Herbs to feed the nerves: <\/strong><\/p>\n Dave\u2019s Mood Formula<\/strong> \u2013 nourishes the nervous system<\/p>\n Lavender<\/strong> \u2013 nourishes the nerves<\/p>\n Melissa (Lemon balm)<\/strong> \u2013 nerves, also helps with sleep<\/p>\n Herbs to strengthen the kidneys: <\/strong>Dave\u2019s Kidney Formula<\/strong> – <\/strong>protects and nourishes the kidneys and urinary system<\/p>\n Parsley root tincture<\/strong> – <\/strong>clears mucus congestion, tones urinary tract<\/p>\n Dandelion leaf<\/strong> – increases urine production<\/p>\n Other herb singles: <\/strong>Catnip<\/strong> \u2013 for stress-induced vertigo or digestive upsets and congestion in the ears<\/p>\n Cloves (whole)<\/strong> \u2013 make a tea for digestive upsets and congestion<\/p>\n Coriander seeds whole<\/strong> \u2013 also a tea for digestion and congestion<\/p>\n Dandelion root<\/strong> \u2013 vertigo from liver weakness and toxicity<\/p>\n Gingko Biloba<\/strong> \u2013 vertigo from lack of circulation to ears and head<\/p>\n Valerian<\/strong> \u2013 vertigo from nervous exhaustion<\/p><\/blockquote>\n To make a cell salt solution<\/strong>, put up to 10 tablets of each cell salt in a 16- to 24-ounce bottle; fill with water and swirl to dissolve tablets.
