Vertigo - The Ayurvedic explanation
Ayurveda is based on the concept of three types of energy that constitute and control the human body. These energies are together known as Tridoshas and are listed below
- Vata
- Pitta
- Kapha
The Tridoshas exist in a balance that is unique to every individual, and this state of balance in an individual is known as his or her Prakriti. An imbalance of Doshas is considered to be the cause of different types of diseases. In Ayurveda, the nervous disorder Vertigo is known as Bhrama.
An imbalance of Pitta Dosha is a result of an excessive consumption of food items that are oily, spicy, fried or sour, excess stress, etc. Bhrama or Vertigo is caused by an imbalance of Vata and Pitta Doshas. Bhrama or Vertigo is not considered as a chronic condition.
