People who suffer from dizziness often feel like they have to operate in a constant state of alertness, unable to enjoy their daily experiences with carefree enthusiasm or confidence in their steps. They never know when they will get dizzy and this can cause them to go through life with extreme anxiety.
The inner ear is an important part of the balance system and when it doesn’t get enough blood flow, our main command center (the brain) will trigger warning signals through poor vision, dizziness and vomiting. The condition known as vertigo is quite serious and can be a sign of poor circulation, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or even hardened arteries.
So how can you prevent dizziness from ruining your life?
Check out these natural ways to effectively prevent or reduce the symptoms of vertigo:
- Incorporate ginger, vitamin B6, peppermint, broom, fenugreek, and/or coriander seeds into your daily routine.
- Avoid salt, nicotine, and caffeine, or spicy and acidic foods.
- Keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water every day!
- Put nutmeg under your tongue or drink chamomile tea to quickly relieve nausea.
- Get enough sleep every night! (This is not a blanket recommendation. Fatigue can be a contributing factor to vertigo. The depth, duration, and quality of your sleep are important.)
- Acupuncture.
- Hypnosis.
- Acupuncture sessions.
- Stabilize your nervous system and your body’s energy field by spending as much time in nature as possible. Put your bare feet in the grass and breathe slowly. Walk on the beach, letting the healing sand calm your system.
For specific cases, try the following homeopathic remedies:
- Iodine: for chronic congestive vertigo
- Bryonia: for gastric vertigo accompanied by nausea
- Ambra Grisea: for stress-related vertigo
- Ferrum Metallicum: for those with vertigo and anemia
Above all, understand the real dangers of chronic stress. Anxiety and emotional instability can put your health at risk for vertigo.
The more peaceful and calm you feel within, the less likely you are to experience vertigo. To help you achieve balance and long-term health, meditate and practice yoga.
May these remedies help you stay present with your loved ones and enjoy life to the fullest!
