For some, the dizziness occurs in the morning after getting up, for others it is completely unexpected. Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms of illness, but it is not an illness in the medical sense, but a symptom that can indicate a number of different illnesses. A distinction is made between
- spinning sensation (the environment is spinning),

- Liftschwindel.
Homeopathy relieves dizziness gently and without side effects.
