Ménière's Disease - Home Treatment

The vertigo (spinning sensation) of Ménière's disease may be easier to tolerate if you lie down and hold your head very still during an attack.

Changing your diet may reduce the chance of having another attack of Ménière's disease. Eating a diet low in salt and limiting the use of caffeine and alcohol may reduce the frequency of attacks. However, diet changes will not reduce the intensity or duration of a vertigo attack that has already begun. For more information, see:

Ménière's disease: Eating a low-salt diet.

Doing balance exercises and taking safety precautions for attacks of vertigo may help. For more information, see:

Vertigo: Staying safe when you have balance problems.
