Vertigo
forum post
I'm really hoping that I can get some new insight into something I have been trying to get into balance since the summer.I have been suffering from vertigo for the last 7 months and it is not getting better.It is getting worse.It started with only small episodes lasting less than 5 minutes of feeling light headed and a sense of the ground falling.Now it is almost a constant.I also suffer from adrenal fatigue and up until this past summer was doing very well with using my supplements,nutrition and Acupuncture to keep my energy levels up.
I am a certified Acupuncturist and have been using some of the following points with some success:St41,Sp6,St40,St36,Ren6,Du20,GB18,GB13,GB8,LU9.If I do a treatment in the morning and then at night the vertigo does go away slightly.As soon as I miss a day of Acupuncture it goes right back to the constant vertigo.I have also gone to my teacher who is a very good Dr of Acupuncture and she has done some treatments on me as well.Again the same results.It goes away for a few days but then back to the way it was.I am also getting massage with essential oils and it does help for a little while again.
I have had all of the western diagnoses and testing done and they have found nothing.I have not had an MRI done on my head yet and I would really like to avoid this.
I am also started taking Ginko Biloba,DMG and Cayenne in addition to my regular supplements(multi,cal/mag,D,C,Adrenal support,Omega's,liver support).
I am really getting desperate for a miracle! Any insight would be highly valued.Thanks.

There are 3 patterns of vertigo: Qi and Blood deficiency; Liver Yang up; damp phlegm blocked meridians. For Qi and Blood deficiency use points: St36, Ren6, Du20 and Ub20; for Liver yang up use points: Gb20,Ub18,23,Lv2, Gb41; for damp phlemp use points: ST40, Ren12, Pc6, St8,41.

You don't say what your syndrome is, and you should definately look in to that and treat accordingly as Feng Meil has mentioned . However, I suffered with vertigo myself for 25 years and the points I use with very good results are below and then you can add in to your syndrome points as well:
GB20 (most important) Col 4, GB34, Liv 2 & 3 and any other relevant foot points to anchor your qi down and stop it flying around your head.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

I have suffered from this as well and treated myself successfully by auricular therapy. It did take about 6 weeks but I could continue with daily functions. You did not state what your onset was. Any trauma to the head neck shoulders or exposed to change in pressure ?on airplane? I eventually found a small knot lateral to T3 area which was needled and released the stagnation. I used inner ear, vertigo line , neck area on back of ear and cerbellum . Have you seen a qualified chiropractor as something maybe misaligned and is a structural problem for you. Do go for the MRI as it would be terrible if something was missed.

Acupuncture/acupressure has sponed-morphed and emerged as more than it was.

Gently stimulating the energies of the meridians.
Reportedly “ balances the energies between the hemispheres studies show. So I’m taking it-as given that one who understands the Maps off of all the meridian points also understands The massively creative potential in such a potent new stroking tool in our multi pronged Approach in antedotting the effects of stress and for inspiring and moving organ channel
