Vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself. It's the sensation that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning.
This feeling may be barely noticeable, or it may be so severe that you find it difficult to keep your balance and do everyday tasks.
Attacks of vertigo can develop suddenly and last for a few seconds, or they may last much longer. If you have severe vertigo, your symptoms may be constant and last for several days, making normal life very difficult.
Dizziness usually falls into one of four categories: vertigo, fainting sensation (presyncope), imbalance sensation (disequilibrium), and light-headedness.
• One common cause of vertigo is Meniere's disease, a rare but serious condition associated with progressive episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
• Vertigo is more common in migraine sufferers, older people, women, and people with a family history of vertigo.
• Several comorbid conditions increase the risk of vertigo, including diabetes and abnormal glucose metabolism, osteoporosis, high Vertigo/ Giddiness, depression and anxiety.
• Debris in the inner ear can cause benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , the most common type of vertigo.
• Many medications can cause dizziness or vertigo, like some antibiotics, statins, and antidepressants.
A change in the position of your head generally triggers Vertigo .
People with vertigo typically describe it like feelings mentioned below.
• Spinning sensation
• Tilting
• Being Swayed.
• Feeling Unbalanced
• As if being pulled to one direction
Other symptoms that may accompany vertigo include:
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abnormal or jerking eye movements
• Headache
• Sweating
• Ringing in the ears or hearing loss
Symptoms may last a few minutes to a few hours or more and may come and go.
Some simple wellness measures can help you avoid a vertigo episode and keep you feeling your best. These include:
• Drink lots of fluids - Be sure to drink enough fluids throughout the day. Some causes of vertigo are linked to dehydration.
• Get Enough Sleep - Sleep deprivation can trigger episodes of vertigo. Try to get at least seven to eight hours of sleep at night
• Eating a Healthy Diet - Consuming nutritious, whole foods can help you feel better and maintain a healthy weight.
• Exercising - Exercise can make you feel better overall. It might be difficult to exercise if you feel dizzy, but start with simple activities, like walking. If your symptoms are severe, some exercises can be performed while sitting in a chair. Ask your doctor about a regimen that fits your needs. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after a workout.
Your mind is the most powerful tool you have.
Every thought you get, causes changes throughout your body.
Neutral, calming or happy thoughts have the opposite effect.
It is always a set of emotions or an emotional state that manifests itself in the form of a disease.
The key emotions that generally co-exist so as to become the root cause of Vertigo/ Dizziness are as follows:
You often have many self-sabotaging blocks in your life and you feel as if things will not come your way so easily. Any past attempts at becoming successful have been sabotaged by influential people's own self-destructive behaviour.
You have been exposed to many unstable and unpredictable circumstances. As a result you are not so clear about your actions. This pattern in adulthood is leading to a great deal of anxiety, stress, confusion and loneliness. You know how to survive within chaotic situations but you have lost control over how you feel. This feeling out of control stems from childhood years where you had enough of things delegated on you by an authoritative figure. You feel too much has been expected out of you and you cannot cope up with all demands and needs of others, along with your own unmet emotional needs.
You have a habit of making things really hard, whether it's work related or personal projects. As a result, you always complicate tasks which sabotage your progress.
There is a fear of CHANGE. Your identity, value and self-worth have been strongly associated with a dominating and authoritative figure whom you feel you are obliged to stay with.
To some extent there's a fear of change and unknown.
Here are ways to master the mind/body connection to help in treatment of Vertigo
1. Relax. Relaxation is an active state of deep rest where the mind is quiet and the body is physiologically calm.
Meditation, guided visualization, body scanning and slow, diaphragmatic breathing are some of the many techniques that achieve relaxation.
2. Stop taking stress. Stress is heavily implicated in any disease. Review your life and see if you can avoid the causes of stress or change your response to them. Stop worrying about the past or future and live in the present. As that is all you can influence.
3. Express your emotions. Emotions are energy. Suppressing them takes physical effort that can cause pain.
Repressed emotions cause poor health. Suppressing emotion also keeps you stuck, unable to move past what you are avoiding. By contrast, writing in a journal or talking to someone about how you feel, and even just sitting quietly and "mindfully" to fully experience and acknowledge the feeling, all lead to feeling better both emotionally and physically.
4. Try to be cheerful. When you laugh your body produces endorphins, the body's natural healers.
5. Process your trauma. There could be a connection between earlier experiences of psychological trauma or chronic pain or illness of the past.

Homeopathy is one of the most popular holistic systems of medicine. The selection of remedy is based upon the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using holistic approach. This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat amnesia but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility.
As far as therapeutic medication is concerned, certain medicines are available for vertigo treatment in Homoeopathy that can be selected on the basis of cause, sensation, modalities of the complaints
These remedies are quite helpful in Vertigo treatment.
Commonly Indicated remedies for Vertigo are:
• Ambra grisea,
• Conium,
• Petroleumm,
• Cocculus, etc
**However it should be noted that all homoeopathic medicines (except few external applications) can be prescribed only with specific indications and hence should be taken under medical supervision or as directed by the doctor.
Only if the homoeopathic medicine is prescribed on the basis of symptom-similarity, it gives good results.
Self-prescription in Homoeopathy or any other system of medicine should be avoided.
Diet in vertigo plays a very important role.
• Distribute food and fluid intake evenly throughout the day. This includes consuming approximately the same amount of food at each meal, not skipping meals, and eating snacks, if needed, at regular intervals.
• Evenly spacing food and fluid intake helps with inner-ear fluid stability;
• If your vertigo is because of Migraine, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) can trigger migraine attacks, hence having breakfast soon after rising can help stabilize your system for the day.
• Drink adequate amounts of fluid daily. Fluids can include water, milk, and low-sugar fresh fruit juices but not coffee, caffeinated tea, alcohol, or soft drinks. If possible, extra fluids should be drunk before and during exercise and in hot weather.
• It is important to make sure that you drink at least 7-8 or more glasses of water over the course of the day. Avoid having all fluid intake at one time.
Not all patients are affected equally. Sometimes what one cannot tolerate, another can. The top things that trigger Vertigo attacks are:
• Avoid consuming fluids that have high sugar or salt content in it such as concentrated drinks and soda.
• Caffeine intake.
• Excess salt intake.
• Nicotine intake/Smoking.
• Alcohol intake.
• Processed and Canned foods .
• Bread and pastries can even trigger vertigo .
Sometimes vertigo is caused by simple dehydration. Reducing your sodium intake may help. But the best way to stay hydrated is to simply drink plenty of water.

90% of the diseases are a result of build-up of unresolved negative emotions and pre-programming of your mind as discussed above. Your soul tries to express these unresolved negative emotions first through your thoughts and feelings. If you fail to listen to the messages that are crying out to be heard, these messages become stronger and then harder for you to ignore. They then express and manifest themselves by means of pain, discomfort or ill-health.
Along with Emotional management, Spiritual programming of your mind is a must to unwind yourself from the clutches of the negative emotions you've held so long which has ultimately led to the dis-ease.
This we achieve by means of:
