Why am I so Dizzy?
Alternative Medicine November 10th, 2008It it facsinating to watch gymnists who gracefully run, soar into the air, flip their bodies around and then land on two feet. While most of us are not trained or equipped to accomplish such feats, many of us perform our own amazing balancing acts daily just by walking on both feet.
Healthy people can do most of that thanks to our amazing balance system.
But unfortunately, the balance system does not always function right and when it stops functioning we experience a feeling called vertigo or dizziness (I’ll talk about it as the same thing here because the cause is the same although these two feelings are experienced in a different way).
We’ve all felt dizziness and had vertigo at some time in our life. Be it from sailing in bad waves, driving on a dusty road, traveling to a high altitude or even having a few too many at the bar (I could tell you some stories).
Fortunately, the feeling doesn’t tend to last long for the majority.
There are people who don’t have the luxury of knowing the feeling is temporary. They will be afflicted with chronic vertigo or dizziness every few months or even every day.
This kind of chronic vertigo/dizziness is caused by problems with the balance system.
Our three balance systems are located in the
eyes ears body sense
Luckily, we can still go about most of our activities even if one of the balance systems is not functioning properly.
However, if two or even three of those balance systems become ineffective, we have a big problem. That is why it is so important to strengthen all three balance systems even if one or two are too weak to completely heal them.
Getting the balance systems strong involves some choreography if you will.
You see, 90% of the time, dizziness and vertigo are caused by tension in the muscles around our balance system - the eyes, the ears or the body line from the top of our skull to the pelvic bone.
Eye muscles suffering from tension will create a somewhat different balance perception than the ear’s balance system is perceiving.
These two balance systems send two different messages to the brain. This causes confusion when your brain tries to process the information. Needless to say, you feel dizzy.
If your reading glasses are not the right strength, you’ve probably experienced this.
A perfectly functioning balance system in the ears and body would help you continue functioning when the eyes are not up to par. However, normally, dizziness still occurs because it just is not likely that both of the other systems will be in perfect balance.
If the muscles tied to each balance system are loose and strong though, you can function properly.
You do not even have to do this perfectly. If you only bring each of these systems to 70% function, that is enough for you to never feel dizziness or vertigo again. That is exactly what my natural vertigo and dizziness program does.
