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.

4. Chininum Sulph – For Vertigo In Cases Of Meniere’s Disease

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.

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).

I am having dizziness for almost an year . It gets worse while moving the head up down left or right or with slight position change. I get dizziness while waking up from bed all of a sudden. It’s not exactly spinnin but rather floating sensation. While walking I feel unsteadiness , loss of balance as if I am inclining towards either right or left side although I am walking straight . Sometimes the head feels heavy and there is a pain starting from the back of head and radiating throughout the head. I was given an X ray where it is told that I have reduced cervical lordosis. I feel dizzy all throughout the day . The sensation of floating sometimes come with a jerk in the head. If I stay in a sitting posture then the things around me feel like sliding up down . Why am I having all these ?

Hi-
I have had vertigo often on for several years. I had an adjustment with a vestibular specialist that made it disappear until yesterday. The odd thing is sometimes if I’ve had too much sugar or gluten it worsens, but this time it was worse than I’ve ever experienced. My balance is way off and I’m having a hard time walking straight. I also have tinnitus.
Would you recommend Gelsemium or something that would work better?
Thank you-
Have your symptoms resolved ?
I had vertigo attacks twice that lasted for several hours also around 10 years before that I had ringing (tinnitus) which lasted for a few months and went itself.
I feel awful when traveling on an airplane. It feels like my ear will be busted and it takes a few days to go away. Also constantly bubbling from the ear. I have high blood pressure and recently started to taking Kent 32 blood pressure drops.
Could you please suggest to me any Homeopathic medication for that?
I am 56 years 56-year-old South East Asian background male.
Thank you and best regards.

Hello doctor
I have been diagnosed with bppv one month ago. I took allopathic medicines but no relief. Still I feel dizzy sometimes and when I lie down I feel like I am floating. I cannot bow my head as well. Can homeopathy cure me permanently? What medicines to take?
I take cocculus 30& belladonna 30 for vertigo since last 6month. Can I continue the medicine? If yes then for how long. Symptoms warm head&face.but temperature is normal. Pl suggest.
Great article! I wonder if you guys have heard of Mal De Debarqument Syndrome too (it’s a fairly ‘newly named’) type of vertigo – and what you would use to treat it? More doctors & neurologists need to know about it and what it’s called. The sensation/symptoms have been around since the invention of boats, planes, buses etc.
Thank you so much for this really good article and the information too 👏 🙂
