Hey there, viewers! Do you feel dizzy often? Vertigo can impact your life in more ways than
you think. It’s basically your senses telling your brain that the body is off balance,
even though it’s not! Vertigo can happen once in a while, or be recurring. One of the main
causes is a deposit build-up in your inner ear. This causes you to lose your sense of balance.
In today’s video, we’ll be talking about 9 home remedies for vertigo.
What is an epley maneuver? How do you do the Brandt-Daroff exercise?
Can stress management help? We’ll be talking about all of these AND more...
1. Epley maneuver If you’re experiencing vertigo,
one of the first things you need to try is the Epley maneuver. Also known as the Canalith,
research has shown it’s very effective for those with vertigo. You can do this maneuver at home.
You begin by sitting upright on the floor or any flat surface. Keep your legs stretched out
and put a pillow behind you. Tilt your head 45 degrees to the right. Keeping the head turned,
lay back with your head on the pillow. You need to remain in this position for 30 seconds.
Once that’s done, turn your head 90 degrees to the other side,
but do it slowly. Make sure you’re not lifting your neck. Now turn your entire body to the
left so the head and body are on the same side. After you’re done, slowly bring your body back
to its original position. Do this by sitting up while continuing to look forward. This maneuver
needs to be done three times in a row. After each cycle, you should see your dizziness reduce.

2. Semont-Toupet (too-pay)maneuver This is another handy maneuver that
can help people with vertigo. It’s similar to Epley and can be done at
home. The main difference with this maneuver is that you’ll need to use your neck less.
The starting position is the same as Epley. You sit on a flat surface with your legs stretched
out, and a pillow behind you. Once you’re in position, lie down on your right side,
but keep your faceto the left. You’re pretty much looking at the ceiling.
Once done, sit up quickly and turn to the left, while still keeping your neck in the same
position. This means you’re looking at the ground. After that, slowly bring yourself back to the
original m.,,,position to sit up and look forward. 3. Brandt-Daroff exercise
This particular exercise is recommended to people with vertigo, since it’s easy to do
at home and does not require any supervision. But one thing to remember is that the Brandt-Daroff
exercise causes dizziness for a short time, so you should only do it when you’re in a safe place,
and you won’t be driving any time soon. You begin this exercise by sitting on a flat
surface. Your feet are dangling the same way they would be on a chair. Now turn your head as far to
the left as you can. Put your head and torso to the right. Remember, don’t move your legs!
Once you’re in this position for 30 seconds, you can sit up and return your head to the
starting pose. You can repeat this exercise with the opposite side. It’s good to do this
for five continuous cycles, three times a day for the best benefits.

4. Ginkgo (gink-goh) biloba (bill-oh-ba) Named after a tree in China,
ginkgo biloba is known to have the same effects for vertigo as any prescription
drugs used in treatment for the condition. You can get ginkgo biloba extract in the form of a
capsule or even liquid. If you consume 240 mgs of ginkgo biloba in a day, you’re likely to see fewer
problems with vertigo and stay on-balance. 5. Stress management
There are some specific conditions that could cause vertigo as well,
such as Meniere’s (min-ears) disease, which can happen because of stress. If you can develop some
coping strategies to manage your stress levels, the chances of triggering vertigo will lessen.
People who are trying to manage stress generally turn to deep-breathing techniques,
and meditation as they have a calming effect on the mind. This, of course,
is not a permanent solution for long-term stress. Those who constantly undergo stress may have to
look at what’s causing it, and try to deal with it if they’re going to avoid stress-induced vertigo.
Being aware of what triggers the stress can help you avoid vertigo.

These are both ancient practices that can help you reduce your symptoms of vertigo. They will
also increase your flexibility and balance. When you do physical therapy, it trains your
brain to take in anything that may cause vertigo. Doing these exercises can help you
mimic the effect and alleviate signs of vertigo. You don’t need to do anything expert level when
you do yoga. Instead, simple poses such as the child pose, or the corpse pose will do
the trick whenever you feel dizzy. You do, however, need to be careful about doing any
poses that require bending suddenly. This will only make your dizziness stronger.
7. Adequate amount of sleep If you don’t get enough hours of
sleep every day, you will trigger your vertigo. Sleep deprivation is one of the main reasons for
people experiencing vertigo for the first time. The best solution to this is to take a break from
whatever you’re doing and take a short nap. Doing so may help you resolve the dizziness
you’re feeling. 8. Hydration
Sometimes, vertigo is brought on by the lack of hydration in your body. You can avoid
dehydration by reducing the amount of sodium you consume through all the food you eat.
The best solution is the obvious one. You need to drink a lot of water throughout the day. This will
keep your body’s hydration at a decent level. If you keep track of how much water you’re
drinking, you’ll avoid vertigo. On top of that, you also need to watch how sweaty
you’re getting, as well as how hot the weather is. For those who get dehydrated easily, it’s best to
keep a bottle of water with you wherever you go. Even being aware of how much water you’ve been
drinking can keep the symptoms of vertigo away. 9. Vitamin D
Sometimes, vertigo occurs because you’re not getting specific minerals through your diet.
A study showed that people who don’t have enough vitamin D get symptoms of vertigo a lot easier.
To avoid this kind of situation, you need to make sure your vitamin D levels are good.
Drinking a glass of fortified milk or orange juice can help. Eating canned tuna or even
egg yolks will also help you in this department. You can always get your vitamin D levels checked
with a doctor. If they’re too low, you can get the help of supplements to boost it.
Outside of keeping your vitamin D levels in check, you also need to avoid alcohol. When
you drink a little too much, the dizzy feeling is only natural. This is not a major problem.
But alcohol can change the composition of your inner ear’s fluid. As a result,
your balance can be thrown off. Alcohol will also cause dehydration,
which as I mentioned will only cause symptoms of vertigo. So it’s best to
avoid alcohol if you’re experiencing vertigo. Home remedies can be very helpful when it comes to
dealing with everyday problems and health issues. We just learned vertigo can be caused by buildup
in the inner ear. How about home remedies to help remove ear wax? Or home remedies that build
