This very helpful. I have persistent vertigo and my doctor has diagnosed me with migraines which manifest in very. I am on a migraine diet prescribed by my doctor. There is no magic pill for this but clonazePAM helps as does supplements my doctor prescribed. I still get vertigo attacks some mild others severe.

Budding herbalist here and developed tinnitus after contracting Lyme. This is the first I've heard of Zizyphus. Will be adding to the Materia Medica for sure. Thanks for sharing and wishing you Wellness and blessing along your journey 🙏 🥰

Great explanation of this. I have Ménière's disease. At this point I've spent years on different approaches that worked, so I rarely have a flare-up now. Its a journey...

Wow, Maia, thank you for all of this. As a dancer/choreographer/pilates person who has experienced BPPV in the last few years, I have felt SO anxious about returning to vigorous activities (the trampoline was what triggered it originally) or even simple movements that I used to do regularly just in case those crystals shift. I know it has a very different root cause than MD and it has movement therapy as a treatment, but honestly, hearing the collective wisdom show up and get synthesized here makes me feel connected to a community that I didn’t know I needed and that is so impactful. I have had some random flare ups since the initial, but I’ve only just been getting back into movement recently because I’ve felt so stuck in a non-movement restrictive anxiousness just in case it will show up again. Thanks for doing this research and holding this space, I’m definitely going to take this advice when I experience it again. - 💜Kalila
