AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON DIZZY / LIGHT-HEADED

Dizziness upon standing is a sign of low blood pressure (postural hypotension). Electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, vasodilation and low blood sugar level can also cause dizziness (Vata). Ear infection may cause dizziness as well (Kapha). Pressure naturally builds in the ear after a rich meal as blood thickens. This can cause kapha type vertigo as well.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

DIZZY / LIGHT-HEADED IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
