This guide lists homeopathic medicines that are commonly considered for vertigo and dizziness, along with the symptom picture usually associated with each one. It is general information only: homeopathic prescribing is individualised, so the right medicine depends on your complete case – please consult a qualified homeopathic doctor before taking any of them, and do not stop or change any current treatment without medical advice.
About vertigo and dizziness
Vertigo is the sensation that you or the room around you is spinning, often with nausea, vomiting and loss of balance; dizziness is a broader term that also includes light-headedness. The commonest cause is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), in which tiny crystals move in the inner ear and cause short spins when the head changes position; a simple repositioning manoeuvre done by a doctor or physiotherapist often resolves it. Other causes are inflammation of the balance nerve, Menière’s disease (with tinnitus and hearing loss), migraine, low blood pressure, anaemia, neck problems such as cervical spondylosis, medicines and, less commonly, problems in the brain. Rise slowly, avoid sudden head movements, stay hydrated and sit down during an episode. Seek emergency care for sudden severe vertigo with weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking, double vision, severe headache or chest pain, as these can signal a stroke.
