Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the common causes of vertigo. In BPPV mild to severe attacks of vertigo arise. BPPV results from a problem within the inner ear. Homeopathic medicines help reduce the frequency and intensity of the associated vertigo spells. These medicines also help relieve the associated nausea and vomiting. Conium Maculatum, Gelsemium, and Belladonna are the top homeopathic remedies used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Homeopathic medicines for BPPV.
Our inner ear has a labyrinth and semicircular canals that contain fluid and delicate hair sensors. The movement of the fluid inside the ear moves the hair that lines the labyrinth. The hair movement helps trigger nerve messages to the brain via the vestibular nerve about the position of the head, thereby helping maintain a proper balance. BPPV is thought to arise when a calcified stone otolith (that is usually present in the utricle) gets dislodged and enters the semicircular canal. When the head moves, these calcified stones in the semicircular canal also move. The movement of these stones brushes the hair cells in semicircular canals and sends messages to the brain via the vestibular nerve. As a result, upon moving the head, the brain gets confused with the signals from the (affected) ear and (the unaffected) ear, resulting in a spell of vertigo. The reason for dislodging of the otolith is not clear. A person over the age of 50 yrs is at more risk of developing BPPV. An injury to the head is another contributing factor, and the chances of getting BPPV are more in females as compared to males.

Symptoms of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo – BPPV
The primary symptom of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo – BPPV is dizziness/vertigo with a sensation as if you are spinning or the surroundings are spinning. The vertigo episode lasts from a few seconds to a minute or two. The attacks of vertigo vary from mild to intense in nature. Severe vertigo attacks may lead to falling. Vertigo triggered by movements of the head like turning the head up or down, tilting the head, sudden head movements, turning in the bed or getting out of the bed are other indications. Keeping the head still removes vertigo. There may be nausea or vomiting. The patient may also experience difficulty in standing and walking, along with a loss of balance and unsteadiness.

Hello Dr. Sharma,
I am a medical doctor.
Several months ago I started getting dizzy and it is non-stop. There is no spinning of the room or my head.
I see a pattern of the dizziness:
When turning in bed no dizziness. But after about 15 minutes of moving around in the kitchen etc. the dizziness starts. It is a sensation of lightheadedness and sensation of losing balance and falling down.
Dizziness lasts all day, and does not settle down until I fall asleep at night.
Some days I feel as if there is tight elastic band on top of the head. prior to the onset of dizziness.
I have tried scopolamine patch and also Meclizine- the motion sickness medicine. No effect !
