7 All Natural Ways to Remedy Vertigo

If you’ve ever experienced vertigo, it’s a feeling you’ll never forget. If you haven’t had it, consider yourself lucky.

You know the sensation that you get when you’ve spun around too many times, and you feel like you have to wait for the ground to catch up to you? That’s vertigo.

It's not the same as feeling dizzy. It’s more a sense that the world is moving around you, but you feel it in your head rather than under your feet.

Vertigo is a medical symptom of another problem. Sometimes it is caused by fluid in the ear, and sometimes by being dehydrated. You can get it as a side effect of taking some medications.

There are also reports of vertigo being associated with high cholesterol or blood sugar. In all these cases, fixing the problem gets rid of the symptom.

If you’re suffering from vertigo and you’re also having vision problems, headache, weakness or slurred speech, you should go to see your doctor.

But if you don’t have those other worrying symptoms, you can try curing yourself with one of these all natural remedies:

7 All Natural Ways to Treat Vertigo

One of the easiest and most delicious drinks, ginger tea has been shown to help relieve vertigo.

Just slice a few pieces of fresh ginger and let steep in boiling water for 5 minutes. Add honey to taste.

3. Almonds and Milk

Stir into a glass of warm milk, which contains Vitamin D, which has been shown to help vertigo too. I avoid cow's milk as a general rule, but hey, if I had vertigo and thought a glass of cow's milk would help, I'd give it a go!

4. Foods High in Vitamin C

Vertigo is often part of Meniere’s Disease, a condition that responds well to fruits and vegetables that are high in Vitamin C.

Load up on oranges, strawberries, red peppers, cabbage, and kiwi.

5. Get More Sleep

Make sure you’re getting at least 7 ½ hours of sleep per night. Sleep deprivation can lead to vertigo.

6. Apple Cider Vinegar

This cure-all has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain.

Mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with two teaspoons of honey and drink twice a day.

7. Sesame Oil and Garlic Drops

Take two cloves of fresh garlic and crush them. Put them in a small saucepan with two teaspoons of sesame oil and cook over low heat until the garlic turns golden brown. Strain and allow to cool.

Tilt head and put two or three drops into one ear. Allow to sit for one minute, then allow to drain. Repeat with the other ear.

Yours in health and happiness,
