How Do You Treat Vertigo Without Drugs?
Vertigo is a balance disorder that causes dizziness. If you have been diagnosed with vertigo, you may be able to use herbal medicine (e.g., herbs or a combination of herbs) to alleviate the symptoms instead of traditional pharmaceutical drugs. You should only take these herbs under the close supervision of your doctor. Confirm that you have vertigo by getting diagnosed by a doctor. This condition responds very well to medications and herbs. Understand that herbal medicines are popular with people suffering from vertigo because they cost less than conventional drugs, and are considered more “natural” as they come from natural plant sources. Herbal medication may be made from a plant’s seeds, leaves, flowers, berries, bark and/or roots. Herbs, such as ginkgo, help reduce dizziness and lightheadiness. Ginkgo also is believed to increase memory and treat tinnitus, which sounds like ringing in the ears. Rest your body as soon as you feel the symptoms of vertigo; go to a quiet place and away
