Dizziness is a general term used to describe a wide range of symptoms, from feeling light-headed to feeling like everything around you is spinning (vertigo). It is also one of the most common reasons for going to see a doctor. Depending on the manifestation, it can be caused by a number of factors. Vertigo, the most common type of dizziness, can be caused by inflammation of the inner ear, migraines, Meniere’s disease (fluid buildup in the inner ear), flying on airplanes, riding roller coasters, reading in moving cars, and sometimes by some more serious neurological problems, such as a stroke or multiple sclerosis. The feeling of joy can be caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure (such as suddenly standing up), inner ear problems, anxiety disorders (panic attack), or hyperventilation.

One of the best known natural remedies for common causes of vertigo is fresh ginger. Chinese sailors used to chew it for motion sickness thousands of years ago. You can chew on a slice or drink it as a tea. Ginger tea has stimulating qualities and can help prevent a bout of motion sickness. Cinnamon and mint can also be helpful.

Drinking celery juice will not only relieve motion sickness but can also help lower blood pressure.

Ginkgo biloba helps with dizziness problems as it increases blood circulation within the inner ear, correcting some inner ear problems.

Another good herb is feverfew. Not only has it been shown to help with migraines, but it can also reduce inflammation processes in the inner ear, while improving blood circulation.

If dizziness is associated with panic, stress, or anxiety, you should try Rescue Remedy (a blend of equal parts Cherry Plum, Rock rose, Impatiens, Clematis, and Star of Bethlehem flower remedies).

And then there is the remedy that seems to cure everything, apple cider vinegar. Try mixing teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and honey in a glass of hot or cold water. Taking three times a day should help this annoying occurrence considerably.

Another way to treat motion sickness is to add the juice of one lemon or lime to half a glass of sparkling water and take small sips.

An inner ear infection can be treated quite successfully with colloidal silver.

Sometimes stopping intake of stimulants like coffee, cola and alcohol can also help combat dizziness as it helps balance blood pressure.

Another herbal remedy consists of a mixture of fenugreek and thyme. Although it is mainly used for respiratory and allergic problems, it is also quite effective in eliminating dizziness.
