It's important to understand that Vertigo isn't a disease a but symptom of certain imbalances in our Central Nervous System. This imbalance can happen due to any factor;
Problems with inner ear
Problem in visual focus
Poor blood circulation
Injury
Neurological disease

When we are looking at healing, we simply need to focus on balancing central nervous system.

As always, we will approach this using Panchkosa model:

1. At the level of Annamayakosa

Asanas:

Eye rotation
Neck rotation
Tadasana
Vrikshasana
Padangustan asana
Garudasana
Ardhmatsyendra Asana
Paschimottanasana
Supta Badhkonasana
Sarvangasana
Halsana
Shavasana
Jyoti Tratak (Preferably at rising sun otherwise ghee lamp or candle flame)

Diet:
Restrict salt to lunch time
High protein and Vitamin foods
No tea, coffee or chocolate
No alcohol
No tobbacco
Allow body to soak in morning sun

2. At the level of Pranamayakosa

Nadishodhan Pranayam - 4 times a day; before breakfast, lunch, dinner & bedtime

Shankhmukha Mudra

3. At the level of Manomayakosa

According to Atharva Veda, following adhis (negative emotions) arise the vyadhi of vertigo in our body:

a. Fickle mind, scattered thoughts

b. Inner turmoil, anger, refusal to listen to certain viewpoints

c. Not 'looking' at one self

It is important that we transform the above mentioned negative emotions. The easiest solution is to repeat following affirmations with feeling and meaning at bed-time and the minute one wakes up:

a. I am peacefully and joyfully centered in life.

b. I am safe.

c. Whatever I hear, I listen with love.

d. When I look at mirror, I rejoice in my magnificence.

e. I love and approve myself.

f. I know that universe brings only good in my life. 

Happy Healing :)
