TCM treatment of vertigo

Vertigo is characterized by a dizzy feeling during an attack, and even symptoms of autonomic nervous system disorders such as nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats. One thing to note is that vertigo usually reflects a lesion in the vestibular area. It is a symptom, not a disease. There are two main types of vertigo: true vertigo and false vertigo. The harm of vertigo is due to the symptoms. Patients generally experience recurrent episodes of vertigo, accompanied by deafness, tinnitus, and stuffy ears. They may also be accompanied by symptoms such as double hearing, nausea, vomiting, cold sweats, pale complexion, and cold limbs.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, vertigo can be caused by wind, phlegm, dampness, and deficiency, hence the sayings “no wind, no vertigo”, “no phlegm, no vertigo”, and “no deficiency, no vertigo”. In clinical treatment, we can treat the patient according to the type of vertigo:

1. Dizziness caused by wind and fire: This type of dizziness is mostly caused by the patient's excessive yang and fire or hyperactivity of false yang, or by anger and depression, which causes qi stagnation and fire, and consumes liver yin, causing internal movement of wind and yang and wind and fire disturbance.

Dizziness caused by phlegm and turbidity blocking the middle burner: This type of dizziness is mostly caused by the patient's improper diet, which damages the spleen and stomach, causing the spleen to lose its healthy function, leading to abnormal transportation of water and grain, and moisture gathering to produce phlegm. The phlegm blocks the middle burner, preventing the clear yang from rising and the turbid yin from descending, causing the disease.
