Dizziness in Ayurveda
As per Ayurvedic View, vertigo or Dizziness is a result of an imbalance in two of the three vital energies – Vata and Pitta. Vata and Pitta carry out the processes in the body. Nature sets each one of these energies – Doshas in a unique proportions. In this equilibrium everything in the body functions optimally and diseases don’t occur.
When a Dosha goes out of balance, it causes disturbance in the functions of specific organs and this leads to diseases. Moreover, very often this causes disturbances in the other two energies, therefore the diseases become more.
