Dizziness, also professionally called vertigo, is characterized by lightheadedness and nausea, during which even performing the simplest activities often becomes a difficult task.
It is usually a problem with the inner ear. The person often feels disoriented.
If this happens to you often, it is best to always seek professional medical help to rule out any physical or biological causes.
In other cases you can try some home remedies that can provide quite effective relief from vertigo.
Here are 7 such simple remedies:
1. Sleep
According to the Vertigo Treatment portal, the best remedy for dizziness is ordinary sleep.
Most people report that their dizziness disappeared after waking up.
2. Acupressure
Because it’s not always possible to sleep, modern reflexology recommends stimulating the so-called P6 point, also called Pericardium 6.
It is located between the tendons of the forearm, approximately 5 cm (the width of three fingers) from the wrist toward the elbow.
Press the indicated point with your thumb and repeatedly massage it for a while with moderate circular movements.
3. Hydrogen peroxide (3%)
Soak a whole cotton ball in hydrogen peroxide. Lie on your side and place the cotton ball on your ear. Let the hydrogen peroxide drip into the ear.
Wait 5 to 10 minutes until you stop hearing various crackling or popping in the ear.
Then remove the cotton ball, turn to the other side and let the hydrogen peroxide flow out of the ear.
The dizziness should then subside.
4. Ginger
Experience shows that ginger can help in situations when you feel unpleasantly dizzy.
You can take ginger in various ways – make tea from it, chew a piece of fresh ginger in your mouth, or take it in capsule form as a dietary supplement.
For tea, chop a cleaned piece of root about 2 to 3 cm into smaller pieces, pour boiling water over them and let steep for about 10 minutes.
You can flavor the tea with lemon and sweeten it with honey.
5. Ginkgo
Another effective herb for dizziness is ginkgo biloba.
It is recommended to take 60 mg of extract twice a day.
6. Apple cider vinegar and honey
According to the Alternative Daily portal, apple cider vinegar and honey work excellently for vertigo.
Mix 2 teaspoons of honey with 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and take it 2 to 3 times a day. You can take it directly or dilute it in a glass of water.
7. Almonds
Many people successfully use plain almonds to alleviate dizziness. Simply eat a few of them each day.
You can eat almonds raw or, even better, soak them in water overnight.
Soaking makes them more bioavailable to the body and at the same time deactivates enzymes that slow digestion.
Conclusion
Don’t let dizziness make your life miserable and take away time spent with friends and family.
Therefore, try some of the home remedies mentioned here.
If by chance they do not help you, or if you experience dizziness frequently, be sure to seek medical help to rule out other causes.
