Feeling like the world is spinning around you? Losing balance, sudden dizziness, or a sense of light-headedness can make everyday life difficult. This condition is commonly known as Vertigo. Many people in Pune and nearby areas face this health problem, and they often look for a safe, natural, and effective treatment. Modern medicines usually give temporary relief but may cause side effects. That is why many patients are now turning to Ayurveda for a holistic solution. At Kalpataru Ayurvediya Chikitsalaya, Pune, Dr. Manoj Deshpande, a highly experienced Ayurvedacharya with over 28 years of expertise, provides specialized Ayurvedic treatment for Vertigo and dizziness. His approach focuses on the root cause rather than just controlling symptoms.
What is Vertigo?
Tejmahabhut (Increased Heat) and its Role in Vertigo:
One important Ayurvedic concept is the notion of increased heat or ‘Tejmahabhut’ in the body. When there is an increase in body heat due to certain factors, it causes excess heat to stay in the bloodstream instead of dissipating. When this heated blood reaches the brain, it can become intolerable for the brain, causing symptoms like dizziness. This can happen due to immediate heat exposure such as staying awake for long hours, being in the sun for extended periods, or working close to sources of heat like furnaces or fire. In Ayurveda, when the Pitta dosha increases, it leads to acidity, which in turn increases body heat, often causing vertigo.
Additionally, a history of diseases like herpes, typhoid, malaria, jaundice, or chickenpox can leave behind residual heat in the body if not treated properly, which may lead to future problems related to Tejmahabhut, including vertigo. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce the increased Tejmahabhut during treatment to help resolve dizziness and other related symptoms.

Ayurvedic View of Vertigo (भ्रम):
In Ayurveda, Vertigo is mainly linked with “Bhrama”, which is caused by the imbalance of Vata and Pitta dosha. Factors like wrong eating habits, stress, lack of sleep, and irregular lifestyle disturb the balance of the body, affecting the nervous system and sense organs.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Vertigo in Pune:
At Kalpataru Ayurvediya Chikitsalaya™, Pune, every patient suffering from vertigo receives a personalised Ayurvedic treatment plan after a detailed consultation. The treatment is safe, natural, and designed to bring long-lasting relief.
- Herbal Medicines: Ayurveda relies on time-tested herbal remedies that strengthen the nervous system and improve brain function.
- Brahmi and Shankhpushpi – Known as powerful brain tonics, they improve concentration and calm the mind.
- Ashwagandha – Reduces stress, enhances energy, and balances Vata dosha.
- Yashtimadhu (Licorice) – Soothes the nervous system and supports overall health.
- Guduchi (Giloy) – Acts as a natural immunity booster and balances Pitta.
- Moravala (a specific herbal preparation prepared from Aamla)- as an anupan is highly beneficial. It helps in alleviating symptoms of vertigo and dizziness more quickly, making it an effective addition to vertigo treatment.
In Ayurveda, there is a specific category of herbs known as ‘Bhramahari,’ which are particularly useful for treating vertigo. This group includes various herbs that help to relieve dizziness and stabilize balance. These herbs are a cornerstone of Ayurvedic treatment for vertigo (भ्रम) and are highly effective in improving symptoms.
These medicines are natural, safe, and free from side effects, making them suitable for long-term use.
Panchakarma Therapies:
Panchakarma is the most effective Ayurvedic detox and healing therapy for vertigo. Under Dr. Manoj Deshpande’s guidance, the following procedures are commonly recommended:
- Shirodhara – A continuous stream of medicated oil is poured on the forehead, which deeply relaxes the nervous system, reduces dizziness, and relieves anxiety.
- Nasya – Herbal oils are administered through the nose, improving ear and brain functions, and are often useful in vertigo linked with sinus or ear disorders.
- Basti (Medicated Enema) – Helps balance Vata dosha, which plays a major role in neurological disorders and dizziness.
- Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation) – Cleanses excess Pitta from the body, detoxifies the system, and restores balance.
- Karnapooran- which involves carefully administering warm medicated oils into the ears. This treatment is particularly useful for patients experiencing chronic vertigo.
These therapies not only reduce vertigo symptoms but also prevent recurrence.
Diet and Lifestyle Modifications:
Diet plays a crucial role in maintaining balance in the body. Dr. Manoj Deshpande guides patients on practical changes that support recovery:
- Avoid heavy, oily, fried, and spicy food.
- Prefer fresh, light, and easily digestible meals.
- Include ghee, milk, seasonal fruits like pomegranate, and vegetables in the daily diet.
- Maintain proper sleep timings and avoid late-night work.
- Regular practice of yoga, meditation, and pranayama helps in controlling stress and maintaining balance.
Stress Management:
Stress is a major trigger for vertigo. Ayurveda places strong emphasis on mental health and emotional balance. At Kalpataru Ayurvediya Chikitsalaya™, patients are guided on relaxation methods like:
- Meditation and deep breathing techniques
- Gentle yoga asanas to improve blood circulation
- Herbal tonics to calm the nervous system
- This mind-body approach ensures that both physical and emotional causes of vertigo are addressed.
Rehabilitation for Chronic Vertigo:
When vertigo becomes a chronic issue, it can lead to psychological fear, which further exacerbates the condition. Patients often become afraid of losing balance, which results in them reducing their physical activity and thus worsening the condition. For such cases ‘Vertigo Rehabilitation’ is essential. This may include various physiotherapies, exercises, and counseling, which are part of the holistic Ayurvedic treatment at Kalpataru Ayurvediya Chikitsalaya™. These methods help patients recover quickly from chronic vertigo.
