Vertigo refers to disorientation in space or disturbance in the sense of equilibrium which also causes dizziness and can arise from disorders of any of the three systems: vestibular, visual or somatosensory. Normally, the impulses reaching the brain from the three systems are equal and opposite. If any component on one side is inhibited or stimulated, the information reaching the cortex is mismatched, resulting in disorientation and vertigo. The vestibular inhibition on one side (e.g. acute vestibular failure, labyrinthectomy, Ménière's disease, VIIIth nerve section) causes vertigo. Similarly, stimulation of labyrinth by thermal or rotational stimulus causes vertigo. Dizziness can similarly result from the ocular causes, e.g. high errors of refraction or acute extraocular muscle paralysis with diplopia. Vertigo is correlated with Murcha which is illusion of self and environmental motion. A 34 year old male patient reported to OPD of Department of Shalakya Tantra Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Ayurveda Hospital Hassan, with the complaints of vertigo since 18 years which aggravates on stress and continuous work associated with pulsating sensation over scalp since 15 days. Patient did not seek any medical assistance elsewhere and approached our hospital. Treatment was carried on inpatient basis and significant relief was noted with prevention of further episode. Hence, the treatment approach was found to be effective.
