Ways to heal from Meniere’s disease.

Meniere's disease is a chronic inner ear disorder that can cause symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and a feeling of pressure or fullness in the ear. While the exact cause of Meniere's disease is unknown, it is thought to be related to fluid build-up in the inner ear.

Since covid people experiencing vertigo attacks and tinnitus for the first time has increased significantly.

There are many things that can lead to and result in Meniere’s disease such as diet, lifestyle, environment, and mindset. When one or more of these factors are misaligned, it can lead to an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) & cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) which can lead to fluid build-up in the inner ear causing pressure and inflammation, which can cause symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss.

When healing from Meniere’s disease it is best to look at the whole picture that is affecting your ANS and cerebral spinal fluid and not just one factor.

Reviewing the nutrient component in your diet is very important as diet has a major impact on the function of the nervous system, circulatory system, and lymphatic system, reduces inflammation and promotes healing in the body.

When starting on your healing journey from Meniere’s disease it is worth looking at the following 4 factors mentioned above.

Diet

The Diet vital nutritional levels in the diet that are required for optimum nerve function such as:

- Iron – aids nerve function, energy & improves oxygen within the brain.

- Zinc – the ear holds the highest levels of zinc within all the body – low levels may greatly affect Meniere’s Disease.

- Magnesium – aids muscle function, reduces stress and aids in relaxation

- Vitamin C - aids in inflammation, immunity, and detoxification and can greatly help vertigo attacks and tinnitus*

- Vitamin D - aids immunity, health, and detoxification

- Glutathione – aids liver health and detoxification

- potassium – helps electrical stimulation of the nerves in the ear.

- Vitamin B – B 12, B 6 and B 3 specifically.

- improve gut micro biome via pre and probiotics. 

Lifestyle

High stress and anxiety levels disrupt the nervous system and CSF as tension is created in the body.

High levels of stress increase cortisone levels within the body which over a long period of time lowers the body’s immunity system, increases blood pressure, and hormone levels esp. the Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) that regulates fluid within the inner ear, increase pain within the body due to dehydration.

Lack of exercise can result in poor vascular and cardio-vascular blood circulation vital for healthy blood circulation to the brain.

Environment

Mold toxicity, Bacteria, fungal infections, Viruses, heavy metals, and vaccines (full of heavy metals) can affect Meniere’s disease as it can lead to damaging the nerve ending within the inner ear.

Detoxifying the body from heavy metals (heavy metal toxicity) disrupts or even kills neurons (nerve cells) which are important for transmitting and processing signals in the brain and other parts of the nervous system. 

Mind-set

Negative emotional states, anger, and upset can greatly impact our stress levels, lifestyle, and diet choices.

One of the ways that craniosacral therapy can help with Meniere's disease is by improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. In Meniere's disease, fluid build-up in the inner ear can lead to pressure and inflammation, which can cause symptoms such as vertigo and tinnitus. By releasing any restrictions or tension in the craniosacral system, craniosacral therapy can help to improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which can help to reduce pressure and inflammation in the inner ear.

Due to the gentle nature of craniosacral therapy, it can help with Meniere's disease by reducing stress and tension and enhancing blood circulation and lymphatic flow, which can lead to reduced inflammation in the inner ear.

Stress exacerbates the symptoms of Meniere's disease, and by helping to reduce stress and tension, craniosacral therapy can help to alleviate these symptoms and increase relaxation within the whole body and improve overall well-being.

In summary, by addressing and considering a change in diet, and lifestyle accompanied by some craniosacral therapy one can heal from Meniere's disease. As craniosacral therapy improves the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, reduces stress and tension, and promotes healing and relaxation in the body, to alleviate the symptoms of Meniere's disease and improve overall health and well-being.
