Vertigo can be of various types—functional, the presentation of a deeper underlying pathology, or age-related—and it needs thorough clinical evaluation and examination.
Homeopathic treatment has good scope in treating various types of vertigo; I would like to share one simple case.
This was a case of chronic vertigo in a lady in her 30s. She worked as a maid and the vertigo (since last 8 months) made it difficult for her to work, thus impacting her ability to earn a living for her family. She was already taking certain allopathic medicines and some multivitamins but they didn’t help.
Her vertigo complaints were worse when looking upward or downward; her surroundings spun, and she needed to lie down to feel comfortable.
By nature, she is a very calm and mild, gets startled by noise, and carries a lot of fear of being alone, darkness, ghosts, and high places. She dreams of ghosts and falling from high places. Thermally, she is a chilly person who craves eggs.
Considering the overall portrait of the case, she was given Homeopathic remedy Calc Carb 200c bd for two days. After just two days of remedy, her vertigo complaints stopped. To date, there has been no episode of vertigo and she is able to work peacefully without taking leave from her workplace.
