vestibular migraine attack / vestibular migraine episode / vestibular migraine natural treatment This morning I got out of bed walked down the hallway and immediately felt like I was going to faint. It's a symptoms of vestibular migraines and I'm no stranger to it, but it always feels just as awful. I immediately sat on a chair in my family room and observed my surroundings: I could see and nothing was off kilter. Ok, I certainly have that going for me. I'm still grounded I just felt a wash of it pass through me...I talked to myself (I’m my mind) and say that I was ok and I will be continue to be ok. I then grabbed a banana, glass of water and my Peppermint and Basil essential oil. I dabbed the Peppermint under my nose and massaged on my temples to bring me into the moment and wake me up. I put the Basil essential oil on the back of my neck, my temples and my stomach- basil is fantastic for migraines- I think of it as ‘unwinding’. ✨ 💛 I share this because it brings me to tears thinking how much those simple actions helped me this morning. This is why I share with others. Because in moments of feeling so completely powerless, I know I am most certainly not. I know I have a support system to help me emotionally and physically and that is what it's all about. It’s about moments in darkness that I EMPOWERED and beyond GRATEFUL for the holistic support that I have.  What helps you most in the moment? I'd love to hear from you!

I actually just put peppermint under my nose and on my chest and then some basil around my ears to help lessen dizziness. Then I Googled to read more about Basil helping with veatibular disorders and stumbled upon your post. Cool to hear that these two oils help you immensely. I am going to use them more often to deal with the vestibular disorder I deal with which is not yet certain. I may have VMs or something more like central vestibular issues. The doctors didn't know. I do struggle with anxiety due to the uncertainty of if I will ever heal or not and the fluctuation of aymptoms that are always present. It's been one full year of dizziness to some degree every day. Yes, I have improved and still feel some improvement happening but it is so slow going. I try to focus on being grateful for how far I have come though and what I pushed through though I was afraid I would give up at some point. Vestibular issues are incredibly challenging and my heart goea out to all those who struggle. Leave a Reply. |
