If you experience the feeling that things around you are spinning, you may be suffering from vertigo. It’s a condition in which a person feels that he or she is moving or the things in the surrounding are in motion which is not so in reality. The person with vertigo may have difficulty maintaining balance while walking and standing. Improper imbalance can also result in falling. Nausea and vomiting may also accompany vertigo. With zero side effects and made of natural substances, homeopathic remedies for vertigo can be of great help in the treatment of vertigo. These medicines bring great improvement in vertigo cases by focusing on treating the root cause behind it.
Best Homeopathic Remedies For Vertigo
Homeopathy provides several remedies to treat Vertigo. The topmost among these are Conium, Gelsemium, Cocculus Indicus, Chininum Sulph, Belladonna, Bryonia and China.
1. Conium – Top-Grade Medicine
Conium leads the chart of homeopathic medicines for managing vertigo. The persons needing it feels as if he/she is moving around in a circle. Worsening of vertigo from head movement is the key indication to use this medicine. It is one of the best medicines to deal with cases of BPPV (condition in which vertigo occurs from head movement). It is also well indicated when vertigo worsens from turning in bed. It works well when vertigo gets worse while rising from a seat or bed. Besides, its use is suggested when vertigo occurs while walking. There may be a tendency to fall sideways. Lastly, for elderly people who experience vertigo, Conium is very beneficial.
When and How to use Conium?
This medicine should be used as a first remedy in cases of vertigo especially one that worsens from head movement. Also, it should be given in BPPV cases in the first place. It can be used in varying potencies like 30C, 200C, 1M. Most commonly it is used in 30C potency once or twice a day. To use high potencies, kindly consult a homeopathic physician.
2 . Gelsemium – For Vertigo With Loss Of Balance
Gelsemium is a natural medicine prepared from the plant ‘yellow jasmine’. It is a very effective medicine when vertigo is accompanied by loss of balance. It poses difficulty in walking which causes staggering gait (unsteady walk as if drunk). Other than this, it is indicated when vertigo is attended with dim vision, double vision and heaviness of eyelids. In cases needing gelsenium, vertigo gets worse from walking mostly.
When and How to use Gelsemium?
Consider its use in cases where vertigo is accompanied by loss of balance while walking. It is usually given in 30C potency two to three times a day. Its higher potencies can be used only on homeopathic doctor’s advice.
3. Cocculus Indicus – For Vertigo With Nausea, Vomiting
Cocculus Indicus is highly suitable medicine for vertigo accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In cases needing it vertigo worsens while sitting up or standing.

In some cases, vertigo is accompanied by headache.

Headache gets better by applying pressure or binding the head.
When and How to use Belladonna?
This medicine is best for vertigo attended by headache. This medicine can be used in 30C potency twice or thrice a day as per the intensity of complaint.
6. Bryonia – For Vertigo In Case Of BPPV

Bryonia is an excellent medicine for BPVV other than Conium. It works well when vertigo appears from sudden motion of the head in any direction. It seems as if all objects are moving in a circle during vertigo. The Vertigo improves when the head is in an absolute rest position without even the slightest motion.
When and How to use Bryonia?
Bryonia can be used in cases in which vertigo triggers from the movement of head. Bryonia is mostly used in 30C potency. One may take it twice or thrice a day depending on the severity of problem.

Use of this medicine is highly applicable for cases of vertigo which worsens on movement and while walking. China 30C twice a day is an ideal dose to start with.
Causes Behind Vertigo
1. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): It is the most common cause behind vertigo. In this case, vertigo occurs from a sudden change in head position. For example, it may trigger from moving head up or down or turning in bed. BPPV happens when calcium particles that are present in utricle move into semi-circular canal of inner ear that control balance. On head movement, these particles touch and stimulate the cilia (sensory hair cells via which the body’s balance and position information is signalled to brain) of these canals. Due to this, wrong information is processed about body’s position resulting in vertigo.
2. Labyrinthitis: Inflammation or infection of labyrinth which is part of inner ear
3. Vestibular neuritis: Inflammation of vestibular nerve that processes signal to brain about balance
4. Meniere’s disease: An inner ear disorder that causes triad of complaints including vertigo, tinnitus (noises in ear) and hearing loss.
5. Cholesteatoma: A cyst growing in middle ear behind the eardrum
6. Migraine headache: One-sided severe throbbing headache attended with nausea vomiting. Sensitivity to noise, light, odors can be there. Vertigo can also attend these symptoms.
7. Otosclerosis: Condition arising from abnormal bone growth in the middle ear
8. Ear surgery, head/neck injury, low blood pressure, certain medicines which damage ear for example diuretics, salicylates, aminoglycoside antibiotics and stroke (damage to brain from interrupted blood supply to brain)
What Symptoms May Accompany Vertigo?
Persons who have vertigo feel as if they are spinning or objects around them are moving or they are swaying or feeling unbalanced. They may have some other symptoms as well depending on the cause behind vertigo. These include nausea, vomiting, balance issues, headache, noises in ears (tinnitus), fullness sensation in ears, sweating and nystagmus (rapid, repetitive, involuntary eye movement).

Hello Dr. Sharma.
My 15 yr. old son has had non stop, since the summer of 2o18, dizziness starting at the top of his head and most times he feels pressure on top and back of his head with no pain no nausea. He can eat but has a lot of allergies. In 2014 he was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis which we were told to take Nexium. After two and half years he developed terrible stomach pain that lasted two years until we started the homeopathy remedy Arsenicum Album and Iris versicolor. They helped tremendously! But that is when the Dizziness started. We had an MRI of Brain which was negative, Thyroid test Negative , Blood test Negative, Gallbladder ultrasound Negative. When he was nine yrs old a basket ball was thrown high in the air and hit him on top of his head. Chiropractic upper cervical care helps him so it doesn’t get really bad but is not helping as much any more. Also moving bicycle tires and motion exacerbate his condition.

Dr Sharma, My 8 yr old began to experience dizziness about 4 weeks ago. No head injury of recent. She fell and scraped her left knee from falling during a roller blading play. That happened close to the same time she complained of dizziness. She describes as if her head is whirling inside. Said her vision is not dizzy, she doesn’t stumble when walking. Dizzy except when asleep. Occasionally she has nose bleeds (but happened before this symptom). A week ago she got sick (flu) after playing in snow. While sick, dizziness was a major complaint. Recovered. Sick again after 3 days ago playing in cold weather. Fever, dizziness, belly pain are current sickness. Last night she also had headache center of forehead. Was bothered and moaning and whimpering last night and tossing and turning a lot until Pulsatilla. Pulsatilla in 30c is what seems to help her during night. Also started giving Ferrum phos6x 3 times day for fever. I am conflicted with which remedy to give her and dilution and frequency. Phosphorus? Arnica? Bryonia helped her headache but not completely. She is caramel skinned, Pacific Islander, petite, black haired, shy and funny, and also silly and very amicable and friendly and active.
