10 Common Remedies for Vertigo

Brandt-Daroff Exercise and Ginkgo Biloba

The Brandt-Daroff exercise is another remedy for people with vertigo. However, you should not do it at home without supervision. Firstly, sit on the floor and dangle the legs. Turn the head to the right side as far as you can. Next, lay the torso and head down on the left side. Do not move the legs. Remain in this position for 30 seconds before sitting up and turning back your head to the center. Do the same steps for the other side. Do 5 reps per time and 3 times per day, two times a week. [5]

Ginkgo biloba is a Chinese plant. Many studies have found out the effects of this herb on vertigo. It works by controlling blood flow to the brain, thus helping alleviate balance problems and dizziness. You can buy Ginko Biloba extract in either capsule or liquid form. The recommended intake is around 240 mg per day to help improve symptoms of vertigo. [6]
