What is Meniere’s?

Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear that effects both balance and hearing. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo which are often very debilitating and usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sometimes diarrhea. Patients with Meniere’s generally also develop hearing loss, which gradually worsens over time, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) which can be constant. Many people also experience a sensation of pressure on the ear.

These symptoms are related to the dilation of a part of the ear called the labyrinth. The labyrinth is filled with fluid and in Meniere’s disease that fluid increases, interfering with both functions of the ear: hearing and maintaining balance. There is a variant of Meniere’s, called Lermoyez’s syndrome, in which hearing loss and tinnitus precedes the attacks of vertigo.

There is no established cause for Meniere’s. Doctors will often order hearing and balance tests, as well as MRIs of the area to establish a diagnosis, but once the diagnosis is made conventional medicine has little to offer, generally prescribing medications to alleviate symptoms and recommending surgery in advanced cases. Natural medicine is different.

How can holistic medicine help?

It is possible to live without Meniere’s. Successful natural treatment for Meniere’s relies on a combination of nutrition, botanical medicine (herbs) and acupuncture. Each patient is treated as an individual and receives an individualized herbal formula combined with a small number of targeted nutritional supplements. The herbs and nutrition work synergistically and improvement is gradual over the course of several weeks. For an immediate reduction in the severity of attacks, acupuncture is absolutely indispensable. A minimum of needles are painlessly inserted into a few key points. This combination has helped many people eliminate vertigo spells and maintain their hearing.
