Homeopathic remedy for labyrinthitis

Labyrinthitis - Overview

It is an inflammation of the inner ear structure, which is called the labyrinth. In some cases, the term may refer to other sources of inner ear problems that have no inflammation because those problems produce similar symptoms.

A part of one’s inner ear called the vestibule sends information to the brain concerning the position and movement of one’s head. The eyes do the same. When the information from the labyrinth and the eyes don't coincide, the brain has trouble understanding what is happening. This misinterpreting often leads to an impression that one is whirling or a feeling that one is moving when in fact that is not the case.

There can be various causes of this condition, the most often being the flu, injuries of the head, allergies, or, the most serious strokes or tumors. Symptoms of labyrinthitis include vertigo, nausea accompanied by vomiting, a headache, loss of balance, or a temporary hearing loss.
