Does Hatha Yoga Help In The Treatment Of Meniere's Disease?

Hi, Doctor, Yes, my question is I have BPPV Meniere's (positional/calcium) Meniere's. Only get an "episode" about every 5 to 10 years. Had one last week on Thurs, Fri, part of Sat., and hadn't had one since 2011. Used to do Hatha yoga and enjoyed it. Was just wondering if it might help this condition or could it hurt it?

Thanks so much!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yoga and meditation doesn’t cure the disease at all. They give you a feeling of well being only. You can do hatha yoga or any other forms of yoga, it won’t worsen your disease condition. If symptoms are recurring, better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, you can practice hatha yoga for posture control, to improve coordination between the vestibular, visual and somatosensory system.

But you have to take care while practicing. It may cause sudden vertigo leading to injuries.

I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Take care.
