Our study aimed to explore the impact of garlic and its vapors on vertigo, particularly focusing on individuals with psychosomatic origins of vertigo. We found that when rabbits were over-stimulated in certain brain areas associated with equilibrium, they developed symptoms of disequilibrium when exposed to olfactory stimuli, like garlic extract.
Additionally, we noted that patients suffering from vertigo linked to garlic inhalation exhibited heightened responses to adrenaline. This means that exposure to garlic could trigger a response that contributes to feelings of imbalance for those individuals. However, it’s important to understand that the findings are part of a broader investigation into neurotic vertigo, and while they shed light on garlic's association with these symptoms, they do not conclusively establish that garlic is a standalone treatment for vertigo.
Ultimately, our findings suggest a complex relationship between garlic exposure and vertigo symptoms, particularly in those impacted by psychological factors. Further studies could help clarify how garlic might be effectively integrated into treatment strategies for vertigo of psychosomatic origin.
