頭暈不一定是耳水不平衡
不少人都試過頭暈、眼花、耳鳴耳塞、噁心、冒汗、嘔吐等症狀，閉目休息一會狀況就會紓緩，西醫視之為耳水不平衡，中醫角度則屬於「眩暈」範圍，「眩」是指眼花，「暈」指頭暈，輕則如感到暈車浪，重則天旋地轉且難以站立。
眩暈成因眾多，最常見的原因為氣血不足、腎精不足、痰濕內阻及肝陽上亢。女性天生氣血較弱，有因為生理週期者，或者經歷懷孕、手術以致氣血虧虛，都會使氣血不足，腦失所養而出現眩暈。先天不足、年老體衰、思慮勞碌、房勞過度、熬夜等均會導致腎精不足，腎主骨，骨生髓，髓海不足就容易出現頭暈、耳鳴等症狀。另外所謂「無痰不作眩」，體內痰濕較重，痰濕阻塞經絡，引致氣血運行不暢，亦會引起暈眩。怒傷肝，急躁易怒個性亦會導致肝陽亢盛血上衝，出現頭暈症狀。
想從根本解決眩暈問題，必須了解自己體質對症下藥，留意以下各種眩暈成因及生活小貼士，眩暈發作時可以飲用天麻茯苓茶紓緩症狀。
氣血不足 — 適量進食補氣健脾養血食物，例如人參、紅棗、小米、薯仔、紅豆、靈芝等，做適量輕量運動如慢跑。

Causes of dizziness
Many people have experienced dizziness, blurred vision, clogged ear, tinnitus, nausea, sweating, vomiting and other symptoms. When you close your eyes, your condition may improve. Western medicine regards this as Meniere’s disease. It is simply “blurred vision and dizziness” in Chinese medicine. It can cause motion sickness, and feeling as though everything around you is spinning which makes it hard to stand still in serious cases.
There are many causes to dizziness. The most common causes are lack of blood and qi, insufficient kidney essence, internal resistance of phlegm and dampness and hyperactivity of the liver yang. Women’s qi and blood are weaker in nature. The menstrual cycle, or pregnancy or surgery may lead to qi and blood deficiency. It will reduce the qi and blood and the brain do not have enough nutrient supply which leads to dizziness. Innate deficiencies, age and weak body, excessive thinking, too much sexual activity, staying up late, will lead to insufficient kidney essence. The kidney is closely related to bone and marrow. When there is a lack of nutrients in the brain, you may be prone to dizziness, tinnitus and other symptoms. In addition, too much phlegm and dampness in the body will obstruct the meridians, causing poor qi and blood circulation which can also lead to dizziness. Anger hurts the liver, irritability will also lead to hyperactivity in the liver yang and dizziness symptoms.
