Homeopathic Remedies for Vertigo: Relieve the Pregnancy Symptoms

Pregnancy is… a lot. It’s amazing, for sure, but it’s also just a whole universe of weird physical stuff happening all at once. You kind of expect the usual suspects, like morning sickness. But then there are things that nobody really warns you about, and for me, one of those was vertigo. It’s this wild, dizzying feeling that can really throw you for a loop. If you're feeling it too, I just wanted to share some of the gentler, more natural things I've been looking into. It’s been a journey, you know? But there are things that can help. 🌱

What is Vertigo in Pregnancy?

Pregnancy really is this massive rewiring of your entire body. Hormones are going wild, things are shifting, and your body is just trying to keep up while building a whole new person. Amid all that, some women, myself included, get hit with vertigo.

So, what is it, really? It’s not just feeling a bit dizzy. It’s this super specific sensation where you feel like either you’re spinning or the room around you is spinning, even when everything is perfectly still. It’s exactly like that feeling when you were a kid, spun around in circles, and then tried to walk in a straight line. It can last for just a second, or it can stick around for a while, and honestly, it can lead to feeling sick, struggling to keep your balance, or even worrying about falling.

Causes of Vertigo in Pregnancy:

 

I started trying to figure out why this was happening, and it turns out there are a bunch of reasons. It’s not just one thing, which I guess makes sense with pregnancy. Here’s what I’ve pieced together:

• Hormonal Fluctuations: The huge spike in hormones can mess with your inner ear, which is what controls your balance. So yeah, hormones are to blame for this, too.

• Blood Pressure Changes: My blood pressure has been all over the place. Sometimes when I stand up too fast, I get this head rush that can feel like vertigo.

• Postural Changes: As the baby grows, your whole center of gravity shifts. I feel like I’m constantly trying to figure out how to stand and sit without feeling wobbly, and sometimes that adjustment just makes me dizzy.

• Anemia: Your body needs so much more iron during pregnancy, and if you don’t have enough, you can get anemic, which can make you feel dizzy and out of it.

• Low Blood Sugar: If I wait too long between meals, I can feel my blood sugar crash, and that’s a huge trigger for feeling dizzy.

• Ear Infections: Apparently, pregnancy can make you retain fluid everywhere, including your ears. If that fluid builds up, it can throw off your inner ear and, boom, vertigo.

Vertigo vs. Dizziness: The Distinction

Okay, so I used to think dizziness and vertigo were the same thing, but they’re not. Dizziness is more of a general feeling, like being lightheaded or unsteady, almost like you might faint. Vertigo is that very specific spinning feeling. It’s an illusion of movement, and it’s way more disorienting, at least for me.

Symptoms Accompanying Vertigo

And it’s not just the spinning, you know? A whole bunch of other fun stuff comes along for the ride:

• Nausea or vomiting.

• Sweating.

• Difficulty focusing the eyes.

• Hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in rare cases.

When to Seek Medical Attention

Look, as much as I love figuring things out myself, some things are a clear sign to just call the doctor. No messing around. If the vertigo is happening all the time or feels really severe, it's important to get it checked out to make sure it’s not something more serious. And if it comes with bad headaches, blurry vision, heart palpitations, or trouble breathing, definitely get help right away.

Homeopathic Remedies for Vertigo

That spinning feeling, when it hits, can be so unsettling. It just comes out of nowhere and can make you feel nauseous or like you’re about to fall over. I started looking into homeopathy because it’s all about treating the whole person, not just the symptom, with this idea of "like cures like." There are a bunch of different remedies depending on exactly how the vertigo feels for you.

Of course, this is just what I’ve been researching. It’s so important to talk to a professional who really knows their stuff before trying anything, especially when you’re pregnant. Homeopathy is super individualized, so what helps one person might not do a thing for another. Professional guidance is just the safest and smartest way to go.

 

Sickness Suckers (Nausea Lollipops)

And then I found these things… lollipops! For nausea! It sounds a little silly, but honestly, they've been a lifesaver. Vertigo can hit at the worst times—in the middle of a work call, in the car, or just trying to do laundry.

This is what I love about them:

• Portability: They're so small you can just toss one in your bag or pocket.

• Ease of Use: There's no measuring or anything. You just unwrap it.

• Immediate Soothe: As soon as you start sucking on it, you can feel it helping, which is amazing when you need quick relief.

It’s not just about the taste, either. I think there’s a mental thing happening, too. Just the simple act of sucking on a lollipop gives my brain something else to focus on besides the spinning and nausea. It’s kind of rhythmic and calming, and it helps me regulate my breathing when I start to feel anxious. The flavor is so strong it sort of overpowers all the other yucky feelings my brain is getting, which helps me feel a little more stable.

I read somewhere about why ginger and lemon work so well, and it's pretty cool.

• Ginger: People have been using ginger for stomach issues for forever. It has something in it called gingerol that helps calm your digestive system and stop that nauseous feeling.

• Lemon: The smell and taste of lemon are just so fresh and zingy. It kind of cuts through the fog of morning sickness and vertigo and wakes you up a bit.

Putting them together in a lollipop just makes sense. It tastes good, and it actually works.

Just a heads up, these aren’t a cure or anything. It’s always a good idea to talk to a doctor before you start any new kind of treatment. The National Center for Homeopathy has a lot of good info if you want to read more.

Organic Lollipops for Morning Sickness: The Most Delicious Solution

Morning sickness is its own special kind of awful, but when you add vertigo on top of it, it’s a whole new level. Your body is doing all this incredible work, but the hormonal shifts can leave you feeling so sick. It can really cast a cloud over what’s supposed to be such a happy time.

When you feel like you’re spinning and nauseous at the same time, it can be really overwhelming. Your body feels like it’s fighting itself, and it’s totally normal to look for something, anything, natural to help.

This is where I think these lollipops for morning sickness are just brilliant. They’re not just candy; they’re actually designed for pregnant women.

Other Holistic Approaches to Pregnancy Sickness

Pregnancy is beautiful, but yeah, morning sickness can make it really tough. I've been trying to find more holistic ways to feel better, things that look at the whole picture—body, mind, all of it. I’m not a huge fan of just taking pills if I can avoid it. Here are some of the other things I’ve been exploring:

Acupressure: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Moms

This comes from traditional Chinese medicine, and the idea is that you apply pressure to certain points on your body to help your energy flow better and heal. For pregnancy sickness:

• Wristbands & Bracelets: You’ve probably seen these 'sea bands.' They put pressure on a spot on your wrist called the Nei Kuan point, which is supposed to help with nausea.

• Manual Application: You can also just press on that spot with your own fingers. I’ve tried it when a wave of nausea hits, and it does seem to offer some quick relief.

Aromatherapy: The Power of Scent

I’ve also been playing around with scents. It’s wild how much a smell can change how you feel.

• Lemon: A fresh, citrusy smell like lemon just seems to cut through the nausea and wakes me up.

• Peppermint: This one is really good for settling an upset stomach. I have to be careful not to make it too strong, though, because my nose is so sensitive right now.

I’ll put a few drops in a diffuser or just sniff it from a tissue. It’s a simple thing, but it helps.

Balanced Diet: Nourishment as a Pillar of Health

Food has been a huge challenge. What I eat can either make my day better or so much worse.

I’ve found that eating five or six small meals instead of three big ones helps keep my blood sugar from crashing. It seems to help with the dizziness and nausea. I’ve also been trying to put ginger in my tea and eat more things like whole grains to keep my energy levels more stable.

The MommaBear Organics Difference

When you’re looking for organic stuff, you quickly realize not everything is made the same. What I really love about MommaBear Organics  is that you can tell it’s run by people who actually get it.

• Artisanal Craftsmanship: They make their lollipops in small batches right here in the USA, so you know you’re getting something made with care.

• Pure and Organic Ingredients: The ingredient list is simple. It’s just organic stuff and antioxidants. No junk. It’s just a really good mix of something that tastes good and something that helps.

• Women-led Excellence: The fact that it’s run by women who are passionate about family and holistic health just feels right. You can feel the love in what they do.

Safety First: Always Consult with a Professional

Okay, final serious note. As much as I’m sharing what’s worked for me, I’m not a doctor. Natural remedies are great, but pregnancy is a time to be extra careful. Always, always talk to your OB/GYN or a homeopathic professional before you try something new. And make sure you’re not allergic to any of the ingredients. The American Pregnancy Association is another good place to look for reliable info.
