What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a sensation that makes you feel like you or your surroundings are spinning or moving despite being stationary. It is often characterised as dizziness, loss of balance, or loss of sense of place.

Vertigo can arise due to several underlying conditions, such as dysfunction in the inner ear or even nervous system involvement, making it hard to carry out coordinated movements. Ayurvedic treatments for Vertigo emphasise addressing its root cause, balancing doshas, and promoting overall wellness.

Common Causes of Vertigo

Vertigo arises from various causes, which can include:

Inner Ear Disorders: Issues like BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) arise when calcium particles accumulate in the ear canals, disrupting balance.

Infection or inflammation: A feeling of imbalance can be a secondary effect of an inner ear infection, whether viral, bacterial, or due to inflammation.

Head Injuries: Injuries affecting the ear or the brain can cause loss of balance, leading to dizziness.

Cervical problems: Conditions affecting the neck, such as Cervical Spondylosis, can trigger Cervical Vertigo.

Medications: Dizziness or Vertigo can be the side effects of diuretics, antibiotics, or even sedatives.

Vestibular Nerve Disorders: Infection that appears to involve the vestibular nerve may affect the transmission of signals to the brain from the inner ear.

High Blood Pressure and Diabetes: These diseases can deprive the brain of much-needed blood supply, affecting balance.

Migraine: In some instances, people experience Vertigo, which turns out to be a migraine type, the vestibular migraine.

Mental Stress: Stress and anxiety can worsen the symptoms of Vertigo.
