About Labyrinthitis
Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of a structure in your inner ear called the labyrinth. You have a labyrinth in your inner ears, deep in the bone at the base of your skull. It contains the delicate structures that control your hearing and balance. The symptoms of labyrinthitis can include: dizziness, a feeling of spinning or moving when you are still (vertigo),loss of balance, especially towards your affected side, feeling sick, vomiting, headache, uncontrollable flickering of your eyes (nystagmus), changes in your hearing such as ringing in your ears (tinnitus) and deafness.
Western Medicine View
Viral labyrinthitis usually lasts between 1 and 3 weeks. Your body will fight the virus off on its own, so during this time treatment is designed to reduce any symptoms you are feeling. Your GP may prescribe you medicine to reduce your dizziness (vestibular suppressants) and anti-sickness medicine (anti-emetics) if you are feeling or being sick. Bacterial labyrinthitis is treated with antibiotics to fight the infection.
Chinese Medicine View
Labyrinthitis is treated in the same way as dizziness. In Chinese medicine dizziness is called Xuan Yun. Xuan means "blurred vision", while Yun means "dizziness". This symptom may range from a very slight dizziness, to very severe vertigo with loss of balance and feeling that everything around seems to be spinning.
Treatment Options
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs. The main factors effecting dizziness are Liver-Yang, Liver-Fire, Liver-Wind and Phlegm and can all be treated using both acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
Lifestyle Advice
You should reduce stress, as emotional strain affects the Liver and may cause Liver-Yang to rise (in the yin-yang system of philosophy and medicine, Yang refers to a lack of vital energy) and will cause a high amount of dizziness. Overwork and or excessive sexual activity should be reduced, as over time this will weaken the kidneys. Which will fail to produce enough marrow to nourish the brain and will also cause dizziness. Greasy foods or dairy products or irregular eating should also be reduced as this will weaken the Spleen and lead to Dampness and Phlegm. When this happens and there is a deficiency of Qi (vital essence) dizziness will also occur.
