Giddiness in Ayurveda is known as Bhrama, primarily caused by -Vata imbalance due to age, dryness, nervous system disturbance -Kapha accumulation in head, ears, sinuses -ama(toxins) from improper digestion -pitta disturbance in acid - related cases.

MORNING GIDDINESS - CAUSES

Inner ear imbalance (kapha blocking ear nadis, vata vitiation)= BPPV, labyrinthitis, meniere’s disease

LACK OF RESTFUL SLEEP(vata imbalance affecting the mind)= REM disturbance

TREATMENT PROTOCOL

1) BALANCING VATA -use warm dhanwantaram taila for full body massage regularly -practice activities= calm walks, warm meals, oil application to soles and scalp - avoid cold food, excessive travel, and overuse of devices

2) REMOVING AMA(TOXINS) -take triphala churna- 1 tsp with warm water daily for bowel regulation and detox - use jeera water, ajwain or dry ginger powder in food to strengthen digestion

IF YOUR GIDDINESS IS DUE TO GASTRIC ISSUES(acidity, reflux, bloating, indigestion ) -take in the morning on an empty stomach with lukewarm water or milk -it helps soothe the stomach, reduce acidity, and protect the oesophagus -also calms pitta and vata both of which can cause morning dizziness

IF YOUR GIDDINESS IS DUE TO NERVOUS WEAKNESS OR INSOMNIA -take at night, with warm milk, 60 min before sleep -it supports the nervous system calms the mind and promotes restful sleep

Hello thontadarya., What may be happening is that when you sleep, gas or acid may be rising up and disturbing the brain’s balance (Udana Vayu) or your Vata is getting aggravated overnight due to dryness or weakness in nerves. So in the morning, you feel unsteady or giddy for a few moments. This is very manageable we just have to balance digestion, support nerve health, and calm Vata-Pitta at the same time.

And yes, Yashtimadhu is good but I’ll explain how to use it below.

Ayurvedic Treatment Plan 1. Internal Medicines

Sukumara Ghrita – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water Brahmi Vati – 1 tab in the morning on empty stomach Yashtimadhu Churna – ¼ tsp with warm water after breakfast (not at night, as it can increase Kapha) Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water (to relieve gas and acidity)

2. Daily Tips

Drink 1 glass warm water with 2 drops of ghee early morning Avoid sleeping very late or on an empty stomach Avoid cold water, curd, and sour food at night Eat dinner before 7:30 pm Practice slow deep breathing or Anulom Vilom in morning for 5 mins

If this is gastric-related, it should improve within 7–10 days. If it persists, it may be inner ear vertigo in that case, we can adjust medicines slightly.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, Dr.Karthika

HELLO THONTADARYA,

Giddiness upon waking- especially in older adults- can arise from a variety of causes, including vestibular(inner ear) issues, low blood pressure, cervical spondylosis, or gastric disturbances (amlapitta). In Ayurveda, this condition may be associated with vata imbalance, pitta aggravation, or a combination (vata-pitta dosha disturbance), depending on the exact nature of symptoms.

-VATA- PITTA PRAKOPA= Sudden lightheadedness, spinning sensation -Agni Mandya/ amla pitta(indigestion/gastric issues)= head feels light due to weak digestion or gas pressing upward. -Rasa dhatu dushti= poor nourishment or circulation leading to dizziness

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT FOR GIDDINESS

1) Avoid sudden getting up from bed= sit for a while before standing 2) Avoid fasting or irregular meals= this can aggravate vata and pitta 3) Warm water intake= especially in morning 4) Follow a light, easily digestible diet= avoid very spicy, sour or deep fried foods

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHANKHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =relieves gas and indigestion that may cause dizziness

2) KAMDUDHA RAS ( WITH MUKTA)= 250 mg twice daily before food with cold milk = pitta-pacifying , useful if giddiness is heat or acid related

3) MUKTA PISHTI= 125 mg twice daily with rose water =cooling, calming for heart and brain- very effective in dizziness

4) VACHA CHURNA= 125 mg once daily with honey = improves brain and sensory balance, reduces giddiness

5) PATHYADI KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily after meals = indicated in vertigo, headaches, and eye disorders

6) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 5 gm at night with warm water = detoxes, aids digestion and clears channels (especially if gas- related)

YES YOU CAN TAKE YASHTIMADHU CHURNA

yashtimadhu churna= 3 gm with honey in morning and night = soothes pitta, useful in acidity

LIFESTYLE TIPS -head massage with warm sesame oil at night - NASYA THERAPY= with Anu taila- 2 drops in each nostril daily morning -Mild yoga= shavasana, vajrasana after food - avoid looking at bright lights or screens upon waking
