Dizziness Treatment

Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet. If you are hypoglycemic (suffering from low blood sugar), eat smaller meals throughout the day and eliminate your intake of refined sugars, caffeinated beverages, and alcohol. If you are anemic, consume more chicken, dark green vegetables, and raw seeds.

Herbs: Ginger and ginkgo leaf extract can be very helpful.

Homeopathy: Gelsemium, Phosphorus, Cocculus, Convallaria, and Granatum can help address underlying causes of dizziness.

Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin B complex, niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin E, and iron (in cases of dizziness related to anemia) are helpful supplements for preventing and minimizing the effects of dizziness.

For dizziness related to adrenal exhaustion, also include vitamin C (3-5 grams daily), vitamin B5 (500-1000 mg daily), and adrenal glandulars as part of your daily supplement program.

What to do: At the first signs of an attack of dizziness, take a few deep breaths and sit down to rest. When you feel dizzy upon standing it helps if you can immediately squat down or cross your legs (strongly pressing them against each other), as this forces circulation back up from the lower body/limbs to the trunk and head.


Alternative Professional Care: If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating and relieving the symptoms of dizziness: Acupuncture, Acupressure, Bodywork (Alexander technique, massage, shiatsu), Chiropractic, Craniosacral Therapy, Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Guided Imagery, Holistic Dentistry, Hypnotherapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Osteopathy, Reflexology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
