Lara, if your vertigo is long standing...you may have this.

There are movement/exercises that help reset your inner ear.
Have you found those on the net?

They really work.

Ginkgo has a claim that it improves circulation. Recently it was found that this herb did not do well in Alzheimer studies.

It does increase bleeding tendencies, so if anyone is using an SSRI or aspirin etc take care.

Do you see a doctor regularly? The reason I ask is that you could ask for a trial of Imdur (isosorbide mononitrate). I have just started this for my blood pressure and it is working really well for my cold hands and feet (nice side effect). It would be much more effective for any circulatory ear problems.

I have always had fluid in my ears...allergic chronic otitis media. This can lead to dizziness for me, usually in spells.
Since the ENT drained both ears with a needle (a very unpleasant experience) I have had leakage now and then. This has is bothersome, but my vertigo attacks have stopped.
Singulair really helps with this, but for me I developed a depression while taking it, and now it is reported publically to cause depression. That really bummed me out!

If you have benign positional vertigo, I don't think the Ginkgo will be of much use. But if you have a poor circulatory reason for your dizziness, then it may.

Other things that improve circulation are:
L-arginine (but this can also flare herpes in some people)

Vitamin E (get the natural one that includes gamma)

Niacin (sustained release OTC forms should be monitored by a doctor)

Hawthorn-- use this carefully.

I would also try curcumin. This is an anti-inflammatory getting alot of attention recently. It is showing reduction of endothelial inflammation (the lining of blood vessels). It also is very helpful in the Parkinson's community, and has other antioxidant/anti-inflammatory actions for arthritis etc.
Curcumin is poorly absorbed. Taking it with oil or fat, or other capsules containing absorption aids like Bioperine or fish oil, enhance the absorption. I am using Curcu-gel ultra right now, which has been shown in studies to be well absorbed.

The ear is really sensitive.
I developed a severe vertigo while taking Glucophage (Metformin) several years ago. I was a great drug for me in other ways, but I got so dizzy and it took over 6mos to heal up..I had to discontinue the drug. I could hardly walk or look up for 6 long months!

So I understand completely.
