This article presents the use of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to treat a case of Meniere’s Disease.
The patient presented with a five-month history of Meniere’s disease which was caused by prolonged exposure
to elevated temperatures. The patient had been evaluated by a head, ear, eye, nose and throat (HEENT) doctor,
and a neurologist, along with being hospitalised weekly for severe episodes of vertigo. The patient had been
treated with conventional medication, which did not resolve their symptoms. Over a period of ten weeks involving
14 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal medication, the patient’s vertigo completely resolved and
concomitant symptoms such as tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss also improved. The patient also completely
discontinued their meclizine, which at the beginning of treatment they had been taking every six hours.
