What is Meniere’s Disease?

Causes:

A French Doctor Prosper Meniere suggested in 1860 that symptoms come from the inner ear and not from the brain, as most people believed. The cause of Meniere’s Disease in not known. As the time passed, Doctors believe that they know how the symptoms of the disease happen. They describe it as follow:

“Fluid builds up inside a part of our inner ear called ” the Labyrinth” , which has a structure that helps with hearing and balance. The extra fluid interferes with the signals our brain receives, causing vertigo and hearing problems”

How people get Meniere’s is not clear. Researchers have several and different theories about what might affect the fluid in the inner ear.
Causes could be :

• Poor drainage  —- because of blockage of an abnormal structure in the ear.
• Autoimmune response   —- when our body’s defense system attacks healthy cells.
• Allergic reaction.

A personal experience;

About one  year before, when i laid down to sleep, i hear a strange sound in my ears, Sound was like the sound of a small engine running and making a sound like ‘took took” continuously. The sounds  volume increased day by day. I faced difficulty to sleep. I took 10 drops of a Homeo medicine named “Verbascum” mother tincture in 1/2 glass of water and drank it 2 times a day for 10 days. And sound of “took took” was gone.

Any natural remedies to cure Meniere’s disease ?
