Question : I just got over a virus and now I am getting dizzy. I have used a homeopathic remedy for my stuffy nose, by breathing in oils with a towel covering a basin of hot water. Is there anything I need to do if the dizziness continues?

Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

Based on your description, I would advise you to stop breathing in oils remedy. They could be responsible for the dizziness associated. Stopping this alone can lead to significant improvement.

Plain steam inhalation is a much safer option in this regard.

Let me know if you have any query.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
