Last Updated: Jun 24, 2023

What are the best home remedies for dizziness?

Dizziness is an ailment that is very common and there is hardly any person who has not experienced it ever. Several home remedies can help you in relieving the symptoms of dizziness.

Deep breathing is the best means to improve the conditions of dizziness. It helps in providing an adequate amount of oxygen to all parts of the brain which can relax the nervous system and alleviate dizziness.

  1. Drinking-Water:

    One of the most common causes of dizziness is dehydration which happens when our body doesn’t get enough water for a prolonged period. When you are feelings lightheaded, try drinking some water and in case that appears tasteless to you, you can drink herbal tea with some honey or even fruit juices.

  2. Eating small frequent meals:

    Even dizziness is caused by low blood sugar levels at times, and you should make sure that you have optimum levels of blood sugar, especially if you are diabetic. Eating smaller meals, but more frequently throughout the day may steer clear of dizziness and lightheadedness.

  3. Ginger:

    It is one of the easiest available and best home remedies for dizziness and it is more effective than the medications.

If you often suffer from dizziness to the point that it intrudes into your daily activities, you can deseed the coriander seeds and add some water to it along with 2 tablespoons of coriander seeds and keep the mixture as it is all through the night.

    You can strain it the next morning and consume it. Doing this for a few days will not only cure the chronic dizziness but also prevent it from returning.

  5. Apple Cider Vinegar:

    One of the common reasons for dizziness is the drop in sugar levels during the day. Foods take a longer time in maintaining sugar levels, but a glass of apple cider vinegar can stabilize sugar levels in a short period. Make a dilute solution of Apple cider in one glass of water and drink it.

  6. Consume Whole Grain Products:

    Quick-digesting foods that contain refined flour or sugar give your body a rapid dose of sugar, but they also quickly bring it down, which results in dizziness. Whereas the whole-grain takes time to digest and helps to keep your sugar levels stable for a longer period. Besides this, they are good for your digestive system.

  7. Drink a Glass of Lemon Juice:

    Drinking lemon juice helps to maintain the energy level and lower dizziness, as lemon is rich in Vitamin C and has helped in decreasing dizziness. Vitamin-rich foods like berries, tomatoes, and green vegetables should be a part of your diet.

  8. Almonds:

    Almond is a rich source of Vitamin A, E, and omega 3 fatty acids which keeps the brain healthy. Eat almonds to get rid of dizziness.

  9. Body massage:

    Body Massage which is done involving the technique of acupressure helps in regulating proper blood circulation which results in easing the symptoms of dizziness. Go for a body massage when you are suffering from dizziness.

  10. Neither too hot nor cold bath:

    Hot or cold bath relaxes the body which in turn reduces blood circulation. At the time of dizziness to maintain blood circulation, it's important to use water that is at room temperature.

  11. Vitamin E and D:

    Vitamin E containing food such as spinach, kiwi, nuts helps to maintain blood circulation. Taking vitamin E and D is good for dizziness patients.
