And it didn't stop spinning.

One morning Lisa woke up and couldn't get out of bed. Her head literally spun with every movement; it wasn't just her head — everything else did too – the bed, the room…

Lisa felt as if she were at sea. On the way to the bathroom she had to cling to furniture and the wall like a drunken sailor. That day Lisa had to be signed off sick, and the next day as well.

The diagnosis was vertigo — dizziness. The attacks can come out of nowhere and are often sudden and severe. There are dizzy spells that can knock you out. Ask Lisa.

Six years ago I wrote on my blog about tinnitus and dizzy spells, and I still receive comments about it today. For me that's a good reason to write about it again and to remind you that homeopathy can help you keep your balance.

The Banerji Protocol for Dizzy Spells – Conium and Tellurium

Back then I wrote about the Banerji protocol for dizzy spells: Tellurium metallicum C200 to be taken every three days in combination with Conium maculatum C6 to be taken twice a week. (The Banerjis use Conium in C3 potency, which is not available everywhere in some countries; the C6 offers a good alternative.) You can find more information about dosing and potencies here.

In homeopathy, too, many roads lead to Rome, as the well-known saying goes.

So, at this point I'd like to present an alternative to this homeopathic protocol that is particularly suitable for treating chronic vertigo: Conium C6 as a single remedy, taken twice daily until improvement occurs (in other words: until the room no longer spins).

In my practice I see many cases of vertigo. In my experience vertigo is often a side effect of medications and not a disease in its own right.

Are my medications to blame?

Before you rush off to the pharmacy to stock up on Conium, let's take another look at what else you are taking. Read the patient information leaflets for your medications carefully!

You'll be surprised how many of these product information leaflets warn of dizziness as a side effect. Even if you've been taking certain medications for years, that doesn't mean side effects won't develop later on.

I see this often in women going through the menopause, because hormone replacement therapy in particular can lead to dizzy spells. Unfortunately far too many women assume that bioidentical hormones are as safe and natural as the morning dew on the grass.

I don't want to go on at length, as I don't have watertight evidence for my theory. But my hair stands on end when I think about the timing of the widespread introduction of these "bioidentical hormones".

Dizzy spells caused by hormone replacement therapy

You may not be old enough to remember, but this "new" product — hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones — was touted as a safe solution almost immediately after massive criticism of synthetic hormone therapy, which has been linked to breast, ovarian and uterine cancer.

The timeline seems a little odd to me, especially since some of these "bioidentical" products are marketed by the same manufacturers as their synthetic predecessors.

I'm sure it's just a marketing trick; a strategically planned manipulation to distract from the poor reputation of the existing synthetic variant. Are they really that "natural"?

And have you considered what can happen when you disrupt the very finely tuned and sensitive hormonal balance so profoundly?

Don't get me wrong. I can well understand that women want to do something about the sometimes very distressing symptoms of the menopause. I have no wish to criticise the desire for a solution. But, dear women, a solution already exists!

I've written about this before. I prefer the inexpensive, safe, gentle and very effective homeopathy to put an end to menopausal complaints. I don't want to take medications when I don't know what they'll do to me, no matter how natural they may sound.

But now I've gone off topic.

Homeopathy can help

If you have established that your dizzy spells are not caused by a medication or another substance you are taking — natural or synthetic — Conium is a good remedy that can help in many cases. (By the way, there are also many synthetically manufactured vitamins and supplements that can trigger dizziness.)

If there is no improvement after about six weeks, you will need to dig deeper and find out whether something else might be behind it. Perhaps high blood pressure, diabetes or something similar.

In that case you should obtain a conventional medical diagnosis so that the homeopathic treatment can be adjusted accordingly and the dizziness resolved in the long term.

Homeopathy helps — spread the word!

Warmly,

Yours,
