Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is also called "Benign positional vertigo", "Otolithiasis". It's one of the most common causes of vertigo. It can cause brief episodes of intense dizziness when a patient's certain head positions or movements. The sudden sensation of spinning is generally thought to be caused by tiny solid fragments (Otoconia) in the inner ear labyrinth.
Sometimes, some people can be suffering from this conditions for months each time when it flares up. We posted a case report regarding one of our clients tried the moxibustion self-treatment and got relief from this condition.
Another client of ours has tried the moxibustion self-treatment to get relief from this condition when it flared up again.
MS. M., dizziness and nausea caused by Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo flared up suddenly on 15/10/2016. The dizziness and nausea got worse when she was trying to turn to left. She couldn't lie down on her left side at all. She decided to follow our instruction and do the moxibustion self-treatment as some help while she was waiting for the appointment of seeing an ENT doctor in the hospital on 17/10/2016. The symptoms were getting less in two days. She continued doing moxibustion self-treatment after seeing the ENT specialist and having some treatment done at the hospital as the symptoms were still there a little bit. All her symptoms went away completely and she could lie down on her left side again on 22/10/2016.
Hope this case report can be some helpful information for people suffer from this condition.
