Vertigo and Homoeopathic Individualisation: A Clinical and Evidence-Informed Review

Vertigo is an illusion of movement and may result from peripheral vestibular disease, vestibular migraine, central neurological disorders, cardiovascular or metabolic causes, medications and other systemic conditions. Because potentially serious central causes may mimic benign vestibular syndromes, accurate clinical assessment must precede therapeutic individualisation. This narrative review summarises the clinical classification, major causes, diagnostic approach, red flags, conventional management principles and the role proposed for homoeopathic individualisation. Traditional materia-medica associat ions are discussed separately from clinical efficacy evidence. Available studies of homoeopathic preparations for vertigo are limited and heterogeneous; evidence for selected complex preparations cannot automatically be extrapolated to classical individualised prescribing. A responsible homoeopathic approach should therefore integrate careful case-taking with appropriate diagnosis, referral and monitoring. Current evidence does not establish individualised homoeopathy as a proven treatment for all forms of vertigo. Future research requires clearly defined diagnoses, transparent prescribing, validated outcomes, appropriate controls and adequate follow-up.
