Meniere’s disease is a condition which affects the inner ear and is characterized by episodes of vertigo, variable degree of hearing impairment and tinnitus. It has been observed that the hearing loss is intermittent, which means that it comes and goes in episodes.
Though this condition is very rampant, there is no known cause to its origin. And though it is not a life threatening disorder, it can cause a considerable amount of disturbance in those people who are affected by it. Due to recurrent episodes of vertigo and tinnitus, it may affect the ability to perform the daily routine work. In severe cases of vertigo, the persons may not be able to attend office on regular basis and this could affect their confidence and performance levels. Generally, the person has heaviness in the ears and a very low intensity tinnitus. There is buzzing or ringing in the ears which may become worse just before the attack of vertigo. These attacks of vertigo may come suddenly without any warning and may last for a few minutes to hours. These usually subside within twenty four hours. Some people may have symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Many people may experience a n uneasy sensation of heaviness or choking in one or both ears.
HOW CAN HOMOEOPATHIC LINE OF TREATMENT BENEFIT PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM MENIERE’S DISEASE?
Homoeopathic system of medicine has very good medicines for treating Meniere’s disease. These drugs may cure or palliate the symptoms and thus help the affected person to lead a fairly normal life.
TOP HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES FOR MENIERE’S DISEASE
CHININUM SULPH :- Homoeopathic medicine Chinimum sulph is one of the best indicated remedies for Meniere’s disease when periodicity of the attacks is marked.
I have treated a number of cases with this drug with great results. The leading symptom for me to prescribe this medicine in most of the cases is tinnitus. There is an unusual sensation of roaring in the ears and it is invariably associated with vertigo. People in whom Chinimum sulph may be indicated generally have complaints of postural vertigo and heaviness in the ears. Vertigo could be very sudden in onset and in severe cases the person may fall down due to loss of balance. Generally, they may feel uncomfortable in standing posture. Chinimum sulph gives desired results when there is a considerable degree of hearing loss and affect the left ear.
PHOSPHOROUS:- Homoeopathic medicine Phosphorous is one of the top ranking drug in Meniere’s disease associated with echoing sounds in the ears.
I have given Phosphorous in Meniere’s disease with equally good results. The unique feature for me to prescribe Phosphorous in these cases is the hearing impairment to human voices. Phosphorous may be indicated in lean, thin and stoop shouldered persons. Though there is no satisfactory evidence, but these complaints may be related to attack of typhoid fever. When asked in detail, the person may reveal that the first episode of vertigo and tinnitus had manifested just after typhoid fever. Phosphorous may be indicated in people who have a gradual hearing impairment. Vertigo may be felt on an attempt to rise from the bed. In severe cases, the person may faint during an attack of vertigo. People who need Phosphorous are generally restless physically and mentally. They may be easily affected by external stimuli like sharp noises, bright lights and this may trigger sudden attacks of vertigo. Tinnitus may be of echoing type, that is, all the sounds may have an echoing effect.
THERIDION :- Homoeopathic medicine is also one of the most indicated remedies in Meniere’s disease with marked vertigo that comes on least motion and is associated with extreme nausea and vomiting.
Though I am mentioning Theridion as the third drug in my list, I have full faith in this drug, when prescribed carefully. The persons in whom I may prescribe Theridion are generally sensitive to noises and may feel a sudden discomfort when they hear loud and unpleasant noises. The guiding symptom for Theridion to be prescribed is that, vertigo comes when the person closes the eyes. Theridion may be indicated in people who detest travelling because it triggers attacks of vertigo. There may be an uneasy sensation in the ears with fullness or heaviness in one or both ears.
