How to treat vertigo syndrome

I don’t know if any of you have ever encountered this situation, that is, you were fine but suddenly felt dizzy without any warning. Usually, sitting down and resting for a while would relieve the symptoms, but this situation happens frequently. In fact, this is the so-called vertigo syndrome. However, many friends do not know much about vertigo syndrome and do not know how to solve it. Therefore, this article will analyze the types of vertigo syndrome and treatment methods for you.

1. No dizziness without wind (vertigo caused by liver qi imbalance). Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the organ of wind and wood, and is active and ascending. Depression and anger can lead to liver qi imbalance, qi stagnation turning into fire, liver yang hyperactivity, internal liver wind movement, disturbing the clear orifices and causing dizziness. The clinical manifestations of this type of vertigo include dizziness, head swelling or pain, irritability, insomnia, tinnitus, bitter taste in the mouth, red face, and high blood pressure. This disease is often caused by emotional stimulation. The treatment of this disease should focus on calming the liver and extinguishing wind. The prescription can be modified from Zhengan Xifeng Decoction: take 15 grams of Hangzhou Peony Root, 15 grams of Scrophularia ningpoensis, 20 grams of Dragon Bone, 20 grams of Oyster, 15 grams of Hematite, 10 grams of Tortoise Shell, 10 grams of Gastrodia elata, 15 grams of Uncaria rhynchophylla, 15 grams of Prunella Vulgaris, 15 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, and 10 grams of Achyranthes bidentata. Decoction the above medicine twice and mix the liquid evenly. Take one dose daily, divided into morning and evening.

2. There will be no dizziness without phlegm (vertigo caused by phlegm obstruction). Irregular eating habits and overeating of fatty and sweet foods will cause the spleen and stomach to function abnormally, causing moisture to accumulate and produce phlegm. The phlegm will block the middle of the body, obscuring the clear yang and causing dizziness. The clinical manifestations of this type of vertigo are heavy head, dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, occasional vomiting of phlegm, and loss of appetite. The treatment of this disease should focus on eliminating dampness and expectoration. The prescription can be modified from Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction: take 10 grams of Pinellia, 15 grams of Atractylodes, 20 grams of Poria, 10 grams of Citrus aurantium, 10 grams of Gastrodia, 30 grams of Oyster, 15 grams of Alisma, and 10 grams of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae. Decoction the above medicine twice and mix the liquid evenly. Take one dose daily, divided into morning and evening.

Generally, vertigo syndrome is mainly of the two types mentioned above. The disease is better treated with traditional Chinese medicine, but colleagues during treatment also recommend that patients pay attention to diet adjustments. It is best to eat light food at ordinary times, but it is necessary to ensure that the daily nutritional intake is sufficient. Only in this way can the treatment effect be more obvious. I hope that all patients and friends can understand this.
