A good natural remedy that can be indicated to combat dizziness caused by labyrinthitis is Ginkgo Biloba because it improves blood circulation, including inside the ear, and is also useful to combat tinnitus.
Ginkgo Biloba extract can be purchased at a pharmacy or drugstore, and can be found in capsules, in powder or tea form. Its use should be daily, especially when the person goes through a period of stress, which tends to make dizziness more frequent.
How to take
In capsules, the dose is usually 60 to 80 mg, twice a day, for a period that can extend up to 1 year, or according to medical advice.
- For tea: Place 5 dried ginkgo biloba leaves or 1 tablespoon of dry powder in 1 cup of boiling water. Rest for 5 to 10 minutes, strain and take 4 times a day.
Ginkgo biloba is well tolerated and rarely has side effects, the most common of which are headache, heart palpitation and bleeding.
When not to take
Ginkgo Biloba extract and tea should not be used in pregnancy, in people who have hemophilia, and their use should be stopped 2 days before undergoing surgery because it increases the risk of bleeding. For this same reason, it is not recommended for people taking blood thinning drugs, such as aspirin, heparin or warfarin.
