Approximately 90 million people in the United States experience at least one bout of dizziness at some point throughout life, according to the National Institutes of Health. Dizziness can be caused by a variety of conditions and illnesses including, inner-ear disorders, viral infections and vertigo. There are many exercises that can help treat dizziness naturally.
Bed Exercise
Position a pillow beneath your upper back and lay back on a bed. Turn your head to the left and allow it to hang down slightly. Sit up quickly and take a few deep breaths. When the dizziness passes, turn your head to the right and quickly lay back down. Repeat the exercise at least two more times, alternating the direction that your head faces.
Target Switch
Find or place two targets in the room such as a calendar and a potted plant. Stare at one object and blink your eyes. Quickly turn your head to the right to look at the other object. Blink and swivel your head to the left to look at the starting object once again. Continue switching back and forth between objects for a few minutes. Do at least two sessions of this exercise each day.
Chair Exercise
Sit comfortably in a chair, breathing naturally and easily. Quickly bend forward at the waist and touch your nose to your left knee. Wait a few minutes for any dizziness to pass and quickly sit back up. After the dizziness goes away once again, bend forward and touch your nose to your right knee this time. Continue alternating knees, touching your nose to each knee at least three times.
Walking Turns
Stand several feet away from an object that is eye level, such as a picture on the wall. Walk slowly toward the object, keeping your eyes locked on it. When you get near the wall, turn your body to the right but keep your head and eyes locked on the object. When you walk as far as you can, close your eyes and turn your head so that you are facing forward once again. Repeat the exercise, but turn your body to the left this time. Continue alternating the way your body faces, repeating for a total of five repetitions on each side.
