Can Cannabis Oil Be Taken To Treat Vertigo?
Is cannabis oil successful in treating vertigo ? I have a friend who has been troubled with vertigo for a few years. He has been to neurologists, Ear Nose and Throat specialist, has had physical therapy.. Sometimes the vertigo subside, almost going away, but it has come back to him with a vengeance. He is a young man (29) otherwise healthy, eats wells and exercises.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your friend seem to be related to benign paroxismal vertigo.
I suggest using Meclizine hydrochloride three times a day.
I also suggest to avoid salt in the diet.
Cannabis oil is not a confirmed treatment for vertigo,so I would not recommend it to treat this diagnosis.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
