Cures for Giddiness

Giddiness is more than a feeling of being excited and carefree. It is a medical symptom resulting from other medical conditions where a person has a whirling sensation and may feel like falling. It is often associated with dizziness and needs to examine the underlying causes to alleviate the symptom.
  1. Causes of Giddiness

    • One cannot find the cure for a problem without first discovering the cause. Most of the causes of giddiness are a result of something altering the fluid pressure within the ear. This alters the state of balance and leaves you with vertigo or dizzy feelings. Nine known medical conditions that lead to giddiness are: balance disorders, chemical poisoning, decompression sickness, dysbarism, lithium toxicity, Methahemoglobinemia, migraine, Meniere's disease and an adverse reaction to nickel. A wide range of drugs may cause giddiness as a side effect. Consult a physician to determine the true cause of your giddiness to be certain you can treat it appropriately.

    Homeopathic

    • Several homeopathic options cure giddiness. One such remedy boils dhania in mineral water and mixes it with Mishri. Ayurvedia Indian techniques integrate a holistic approach using drualabha quath, Suvarna Sutshekhar Ras and Ashwagandharishta Indian herbs daily while eliminating alcohol, tobacco and narcotics from the system. Your diet should be light and without excessive spices to improve the symptoms. Other tinctures include pulsatilla, belladonna and cinchona officinalis.

    Traditional Treatments

    • If you can alleviate the underlying condition, you may experience giddiness alleviation. If migraines are leading to giddiness, cooling the forehead and taking over-the counter or prescription migraine medication should help. For decompression issues, time in a hyberbaric chamber should restore the body into balance. For giddiness as a result of drug side effects, consult your doctor about other medications you may be able to take that will not have the same side effect.
