Ginger and Dizziness: Ménière's Syndrome, Balance, and Anti-Dizziness Properties

The dizziness affect 15 to 20% of the adult population and are particularly disabling in the Ménière's syndrome. The ginger has been used for millennia as an anti-vertigo medication — and modern science confirms its effectiveness.

Ginger vs. anti-dizziness medications

A comparative study published in Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science (2020) shows that ginger (1000 mg) is as effective as dimenhydrinate (Dramamine®) to reduce dizziness, but without drowsiness or anticholinergic effects.

The mechanism: the shogaols ginger block muscarinic M3 receptors and histamine H1 receptors at the vomiting center in the brainstem, just like conventional medications.

Ménière's syndrome: triple benefits of ginger

Ménière's syndrome combines dizziness, tinnitus and hearing loss. Ginger acts on the three components:

1. Anti-dizziness : central action on the vestibular nucleus, reducing the sensation of rotation
2. anti-inflammatory-science-use">anti-inflammatory ginger : reduces endolymphatic hydrops (fluid accumulation in the inner ear) via inhibition of TNF-α and IL-6
3. Anti-nausea : relieves nausea and vomiting accompanying attacks

Positional vertigo (BPPV)

For the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (the most common cause of dizziness), ginger does not replace the Epley maneuver but significantly reduces nausea and residual discomfort. Regular intake of ginger also reduces the frequency of recurrences thanks to its anti-inflammatory action on the vestibular labyrinth.

Dosage anti-vertiginous

• Daily prevention : 1 NRTI shot (5 ml diluted) in the morning — equivalent to ~500 mg of concentrated ginger
• Attack of dizziness : 2 NRTI shots close together (every 2 hours), up to 4 per day
• Before a trip (car, boat): 1 shot 30 minutes before

The turmeric present in INTI reinforces the protective action. Curcumin protects the hair cells of the inner ear against cortisol-natural">ginger oxidative stress — a major aggravating factor in Ménière's disease. Studies on animal models (Hearing Research, 2021) show a 35% reduction in cell loss cochlear with curcumin.

Why a shot sugar free is important

Ménière's syndrome is aggravated by fluctuations in ginger blood sugar and fluid retention linked to sodium and sugar. With 1.19 g of sugar/100 ml and zero sugar added, INTI avoids these blood sugar spikes — a significant advantage over ginger drinks containing cane sugar.

Conclusion

Ginger is a natural anti-vertigo medication validated by research, effective against positional vertigo, Ménière's syndrome and motion sickness. INTI Drink offers a practical, concentrated and daily solution no added sugar.
