Natural Remedies For Vertigo: Find Relief Without Medication

Vertigo is a spinning sensation that can make you feel dizzy and disoriented. While prescription medications can sometimes help, many people prefer to try natural remedies first for relief from vertigo symptoms. Here are some top natural vertigo treatments to consider.

Ginger and Ginger Tea

Ginger has been used for centuries to ease nausea and vomiting associated with vertigo attacks. The compounds gingerol and shogaol in ginger help relax stomach muscles and have anti-inflammatory effects. Try drinking ginger tea, taking ginger supplements, or eating ginger candies to quell vertigo.

Stay Hydrated

Dehydration can contribute to feelings of dizziness and imbalance. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day, and avoid diuretics like alcohol and caffeine that promote dehydration. Hydrating with electrolyte drinks may also help.

Get Enough Vitamin D

Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to vertigo and balance issues. Spend some time outdoors in the sunshine or take a vitamin D supplement to ensure you're getting adequate amounts. Fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods are also good dietary sources.

Try Cayenne Pepper

The active component in cayenne pepper, capsaicin, may help relieve vertigo by improving blood flow. Add a dash of cayenne to meals or take it in supplement form. Go slowly at first, as too much can upset your stomach.

Explore Herbal Remedies

Certain herbs have been used traditionally to combat dizziness and vertigo. Ginkgo biloba, for instance, is thought to increase blood circulation to the brain and inner ear. Other options are horse chestnut and hawthorn extract.

Focus on Your Posture

Poor posture can aggravate vertigo by disrupting the vestibular system that controls balance and spatial orientation. Be mindful of sitting and standing up straight. Certain exercises like yoga may also improve posture and relieve vertigo.

Get Enough Sleep

Not getting sufficient high-quality sleep can make vertigo worse and increase the likelihood of dizzy spells occurring. Create a calming nighttime routine and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Manage Stress Levels

High levels of stress are linked to a higher risk of vertigo episodes. Find ways to reduce anxiety and relax your mind and body through meditation, deep breathing, aromatherapy, and other stress relief techniques.

The next time a bout of vertigo strikes, try turning to these natural remedies before reaching for medication. With some patience and experimentation, you may find natural solutions that effectively minimize your vertigo symptoms.

"Sick Day" — a Suptober ficlet

Day 21: Cozy Treat

Summary:

Human!Cas forces Dean to take a sick day in the bunker.

Now that Castiel knows how it feels to be human, he insists on caring for Dean with far more attention than is necessary when Dean catches the flu.

He’s certain it came from the haunted preschool he and Sam had investigated a few days back in Nebraska. (All the kids safe. All the adults… mostly safe.) He’d come home grumbling about how those places are little petri dishes for germs, and voila, now he’s on day three of a full-raging flu.

If Cas had his angel mojo back, he’d zap the germs right out of Dean’s body, and that’d be damn nice right about now. But as it is, Cas has been using the Internet to find all the home remedies for illness, and he’s overly concerned about Dean’s wellbeing to the point where it’s just kind of annoying.

Cas forces Dean to stay back when Sam heads out to investigate something a few towns over; he wants to protest because dammit, Sam is the one with the fucking angel healing him inside his body! He’s the one who almost died! But a coughing fit and Castiel’s gentle hand pushing him back down onto his bed ended the argument.

It does feel damn good to be in one place, especially when he’s sick. Last time anyone made him chicken soup and let him lay in bed all day watching TV, he was four, off from school for the day, just a few weeks before everything went to shit.

It’s kind of nice, the way Cas has been putzing around him, heating up soup from a can, making him tea, remembering the times and dosages of the over-the-counter medicine he’d brought home for him. (And Dean had told him that it was not likely, in the course of one illness, that he’d blow through seven boxes of DayQuil, but it was good that Cas stocked them up.)

Now, Cas peers around the bedroom doorway and Dean hits the mute button, looking up from his fortress of tissues. “Dean,” he says carefully, taking a step into the room.

“Hmm?”

“There is a… slight issue.”

Dean jumps up out of bed, giving himself a moment of vertigo, but in his experience, slight issue means serious endangerment to both life and limb. “What happened?”

“Well, in the cookbook that I found…”

Dean curses. “Dammit, those Men of Letters cookbooks are crazy, Cas,” he says. Many of them just indicated, rather than specific amounts of ingredients, to add sprinkles or dashes or season to your heart’s content . Dean knows – he’s read through most of them in his pursuit to break in this new kitchen of theirs, to make the bunker a home.

“I understand that now,” Cas says, hedging as he follows Dean down the hallway, though Dean lurches a bit to the side as his stuffed head continues to fight off dizziness. And despite his clogged nose, he can still smell–

“Did you burn something, Cas?” he demands, turning the corner into the kitchen to see the charred remains of what seem to have been cookies, sitting in a pan on top of the stove.

“Only a bit,” Cas says, and Dean barks a genuine laugh.

“Only a bit?” He taps his finger to one of the cookies. “This is a hockey puck. How long did you cook ‘em?”

“Well, the recipe said ‘high temperatures’ until ‘cooked well’ so… I just turned the oven on as high as it goes.”

Dean balks. “Okay, that’s the issue then.” He picks up the cookie and hits it against the counter. It sounds like a hammer.

“Is there any way to salvage them?” Cas asks, looking guilty and a bit desperate. And Dean knows that Cas likely knows the answer – no, there’s no coming back from this. But he also knows that Cas is probably more upset with his lack of mojo at the moment than anything else. Used to be, he could just make cookies with a flick of the wrist. Now he’s fighting vague old recipes and a 60 year old oven.

“Not really,” Dean says, trying to be gentle, to let him down easy. “Why’d you wanna make cookies anyway, you can get ‘em from the store, you know.”

“Well, I found a list on the Internet for how to take care of someone who's sick. Number one said that you might be comforted by a cozy treat,” Cas admits. “And cookies were on the top of the list. It said that they were the easiest to make.”

Dean doesn’t hide his smile. Maybe it’s the meds, maybe he’s just tired, maybe he’s… happy. Genuinely happy. “It’s okay, Cas. You don’t have to do anything. I’m just glad you’re here takin’ care of me – ‘cozy treat’ or no.”

Cas smiles a bit, and then Dean says, “Well, what’s the next item on the list? After the cozy treats?”

Cas pulls out his phone again to peer at it, and Dean sees a blush spread across his cheeks. “Ah. We can skip this one, it says uh, cuddling can be helpful.”

Dean raises his eyebrows. “Well. Always worth a try, yeah?”

And yep, he’s definitely hopped up on these meds, but he doesn’t really mind.

Hi! I was wondering what would be the time lord equivalent of the common cold!

What does a Time Lord cold look like?*

*Please inform me if I interpreted this wrongly!

🧬 Resilience, But Not Invulnerability

Time Lords have a fabulous immune system, making them resistant to many diseases that would floor humans. However, they're not entirely impervious to human ailments like the common cold. Their bodies resist better and recover faster, but they can definitely get it.

It's a classic case of 'superior biology meets tiny virus.' In theory, their highly regenerative cells should be able to neutralise the virus quicker, but the nature of the cold virus means it's like trying to hit a moving target.

🌌 Extra Senses

Here's where things get interesting. Besides the usual symptoms, Time Lords have extra senses that could be affected:

🕰️Time sense: In theory, a cold could fog up their time sense, making time streams feel muddled or 'out of sync', like trying to look through fogged-up glasses. This could result in mild disorientation during time travel or maybe a heightened risk of 'temporal vertigo'.

🧠Psionic sense: Telepathy is a deeply integrated part of their biology, used for connecting with other minds and even communicating with their TARDIS. A congested Gallifreyan might find their mental 'signals' weakening or misfiring, like accidentally starting a telepathic convo with a nearby lifeform or being unable to interpret words correctly in a telepathic exchange.

➕Somato senses: Time Lords also possess advanced somatic senses, like gravitoception (their awareness of gravity) and mechanoception (their sensitivity to mechanical forces). When they're unwell, these senses could get scrambled, most notably causing light-headedness and balance problems, especially during rapid shifts in gravitational forces, like standing up too quickly.

💊 Treatment and Recovery

The good news is that Time Lords recover from these viruses faster than humans, halving the usual recovery time, but of course, home remedies are always helpful. Get them tucked up in bed with that chicken soup on the go (chicken soup has mystical powers, and we are yet to unearth its true power).

🏫 So ...

While Time Lords have evolved to shrug off a lot of human ailments, unfortunately for them, they aren't immune to the human 'common cold', and because of their extra senses, it's probably got a bit more punch.

Common Featherfew has large, fresh, green leaves, much torn or cut on the edges. The stalks are hard and round, set with many such like leaves, but smaller, and at the tops stand many single flowers, upon small foot stalks, consisting of many small white leaves standing round about a yellow thrum in the middle. The root is somewhat hard and short, with many strong fibres about it. The scent of the whole plant is very strong, and the taste is very bitter. (...) Venus commands this herb, and has commended it to succour her sisters (women) and to be a general strengthener of their wombs, and remedy such infirmities as a careless midwife hath there caused if they will but be pleased to make use of her herb boiled in white wine, and drink the decoction; it cleanses the womb, expels the after-birth, and doth a woman all the good she can desire of an herb. And if any grumble because they cannot get the herb in winter, tell them, if they please, they may make a syrup of it in summer; it is chiefly used for the disease of the mother, whether it be the strangling or rising of the mother, or hardness, or inflammation of the same, applied outwardly thereunto. Or a decoction of the flowers in wine, with a little Nutmeg or Mace put therein, and drank often in a day, is an approved remedy to bring down women’s courses speedily, and helps to expel the dead birth and after-birth. For a woman to sit over the hot fumes of the decoction of the herb made in water or wine, is effectual for the same; and in some cases to apply the boiled herb warm to the privy parts. The decoction thereof made with some sugar, or honey put thereto, is used by many with good success to help the cough and stuffing of the chest, by colds, as also to cleanse the reins and bladder, and helps to expel the stone in them. The powder of the herb taken in wine, with some Oxymel, purges both choler and phlegm, and is available for those that are short winded, and are troubled with melancholy and heaviness, or sadness of spirits. It is very effectual for all pains in the head coming of a cold cause, the herb being bruised and applied to the crown of the head: As also for the vertigo, that is a running or swimming in the head. The decoction thereof drank warm, and the herb bruised with a few corns of Bay salt, and applied to the wrists before the coming of the ague fits, doth take them away. The distilled water takes away freckles, and other spots and deformities in the face. The herb bruised and heated on a tile, with some wine to moisten it, or fried with a little wine and oil in a frying-pan, and applied warm outwardly to the places, helps the wind and cholic in the lower part of the belly. It is an especial remedy against opium taken too liberally.

Nicolas Culpeper (1616-1654) in 'The Complete Herbal' discussing the herb feverfew.

Obviously, I do not advise trying these remedies at home.

In the Realm of Mythos that is Kyuushi's Earth, home to Humans and creatures of Myth and Legend both, there are illnesses and diseases unique to Mythos beings. Some of them are able to affect many different Species, while others are even more specifically only linked to a single species. Some further still are able to affect many species, but has different variations unique to different individual ones where the symptoms are slightly different.

One such is known as Vulpis Inordinatio Magicae, or VIM. An extremely rare illness that can plague members of the Kitsune Species. The cause is unknown, and it's severity and symptoms can vary wildly. It's most commonly believe to be a loss of balance in one's Aether, causing the victim to lose control of their magicks. Though some believe it is an indiscriminate and persistent curse of some kind that simply roams the world before latching onto a victim.

In it's most mundane state, the illness will cause the Kitsune's Magicks to become unreliable. Some of their Magicks will simply not work, while others will ignore the Kitsune's command or act oddly. It will also cause headaches, nausea, and numbness in the limbs. Usually it will take between 1-3 weeks to naturally pass, or an influx of Aether from another being can shorten it's duration, if not outright end it. This form is commonly known as VIM Levis.

At it's worst, the illness will entirely distrupt the Kitsune's Magicks. Rendering them unable to wield any Magicks, let alone command their Aether in any way. Migranes, nausea, vertigo, numbness in limbs, dry and sore throat, nose bleeds, and fainting are symptoms that arise with this form. With the vulnerable state the Kitsune is put into, they become susceptible to many Human illnesses that they normally wouldn't be, which can cause an already bad situation to become even worse. Constant care is needed, as this frorm of the illness must run it's course, and will last for 3-4 weeks. This form of the illness is known as VIM Gravis.

However, in even rarer cases, this illness can inflict an even more severe symptom upon the victim. One in which it takes the natural healing Magicks of a Kitsune and, not only stops it, but inverts it entirely. Thus beginning to degrade the Kitsune's body over time, quite literally killing them slowly. Both the Levis and Gravis forms of this illness can suffer this symptom, and if it does befall the unfortunate Kitsune who suffers from either, it is akin to a death sentence.

In such an unfortunate situation, neither form of the illness will naturally pass, nor will any healing spell aid in any form of recovery. The Kitsune suffering from this will have anywhere from a month to a year to live in most cases, and their life will be filled with constant suffering of their very body slowly breaking itself down. It is usually much kinder to end their life before their own Magicks overwhelm them. It is commonly known as VIM Letum whenever a Kitsune is unfortunate enough to experience this symptom.

Due to the similarity in symptoms that are experienced from the Levis and Gravis forms, it is believed that VIM is a variant of a more wide-spread Mythos illness. Magicae Imperium Inordinatio, an illness that causes a loss in control over one's Aether, which can be suffered by any and all Mythos species. MII -pronounced 'my'-, however, does not include the other symptoms that are present in VIM directly. The disturbance in Aether may lead to headaches or nausea in those who suffer from MII, but it is not directly caused by the illness itself.

Though where the difference lies is that while MII is an understood illness, VIM still remains a mystery. The cause, it's origin, remedies, cure, all unknown. Between how rare the illness itself is, how varied it's symptoms and severity are, and the isolated nature of modern Kitsune, it is unlikely that answers will be found. It is unknown how many Kitsune fall victim to VIM, and there are only a few hundred recorded cases of VIM in records from pre-Grand Kitsune records.

Kyuushi's Mother was a victim of VIM Letum. She chose to be a brave, strong willed soul, however, and did her best to persist against the illness for Kyuushi, and in hopes of seeing her Husband again.

Me Oh My Migraines!

Let’s face it. Any kind of migraine or headache sucks... a lot. But the great thing about the internet is that everyone has a chance to share their experiences, as well as solutions. Read about my migraine journey and the tricks I've picked up along the way! I’ve had frequent headaches for as long as I can remember. Then the migraines started. At first, it was absolutely horrible. It felt like my eyes were going to fall right before my head exploded. I was forced on the bathroom floor a lot of the time. The tile was cool, and it was close to the toilet, which was a major plus for me at the time. Then I didn’t have any migraines for the longest time, but my ears started hurting. Just one or both; I was convinced I had double ear infections at least once a month. Onslaughts of vertigo started spinning my head into the ground and eventually landed me in the Emergency Room a few times. I was sent to what felt like 100 specialists before being referred to a neurologist who explained that my migraines had actually just transformed from the head pounds to making me think my eardrums were bursting.

Some of the things the doctors recommended helped, but some didn't. Like taking over the counter medication or lying down in a dark and quiet room. Nothing felt like it was working until I took to Google to see what I could find.

One thing I found actually did seem to help. I only had to make minor changes to my diet, like eating more veggies and shrimp (which I am definitely not complaining about). It’s Omega-3 fatty acids. I did some digging and actually found the website that I read it all on so you can read it for yourself right here if you like. To sum it up, the Omega-3 fatty acids help with inflammation and regulating pain. It might be wise to stay away from Omega-6 acids though. In a study, they were found to make pain worse and even induce migraines. Yikes.

A home remedy that also helped was the ice pack or cold rag on the back of the neck. It’s said that it helps because it slows blood circulation? I’m not 100% sure on that one, but hey! It sounds scientific, so why not,right? I sometimes sit on my bathroom counter with my feet in the sink while it’s filled with cool (not cold) water and have something actually cold on the back of my neck. It’s not an immediate relief for me, but it does help it stop faster.

Other quick fixes that I’ve found to be helpful are:

laying down in a dark, quiet, and cool room

drinking lots of water

or (sometimes) catch up on my caffeine doses

I hope something from this helps. I know that when I was at the rough end of the head pain journey, I was scouring the internet for anything that could help me. Let me know what you think!

Weekly Tea #3 - INSTANT NAUSEA CURE

Lemon Ginger

I don't know about you, but I occassionally get really bad menstrual cramps. Cramps so bad I shake and get nauseous. Of course there's teas for the cramps themselves but this time I want to cover what instantly fixed my nausea - Twining's Lemon & Ginger tea.

Have you ever had that feeling (people with uteruses can relate if they get terrible cramps) where your stomach is cramping so bad that it feels like things are about to come out both ends at the same time? Yea, that was me.

Thankfully, I wasn't home alone during these cramps so I asked my dad to make the tea for me as I was in no shape to get up from the toilet and do it myself at the moment. I had taken Tylenol right before this cramp attack, so I knew it was only a matter of time before sweet, sweet relief. In the meantime, I had to ride it out as best I could...

Because this was the most nauseous I had felt during cramps in awhile, the first remedy that came to mind was ginger and I had just seen a brand new box of this tea in the kitchen.

Once my dad brought it to me, I forced a sip down. And another, in between the cramps. It got to a point where I couldn't safely hold the teacup to my mouth with one hand because I was shaking from the pain so badly. So I just held the cup and saucer to my nose with both hands and took big inhales of the smell.

And that was it.

The nausea was gone and the cramps subsided just enough (divine timing, I am not attributing this to the tea) to allow me to quickly travel to my bed from my miserable place on the toilet. The pain was still so bad I wanted to cry. I called my boyfriend and his comforting words and dad jokes took my mind off the pain just long enough to tide me over until the Tylenol finally kicked in (around 40-45 min later on an empty stomach).

If you want my menstrual cramp tea recipe, let me know and I'll do a whole post on that soon.

I highly recommend this tea for nausea (not just menstrual nausea, but I think it'd help morning sickness and vertigo as well - let me know in the comments below!).
