Vertigo is a subtype of dizziness in which there is an illusion of movement, most commonly rotation. Acute peripheral vestibulopathy is one of the most common clinical neurologic syndromes at my age with the acute onset of vertigo, nausea, and vomiting lasting for several days and not associated with auditory or neurologic symptoms. Most affected patients gradually improve over one to two weaks, but some develop recurrent episode. We treated two patients suffered from vertigo, nausea & vomiting, nystagmus, headache with herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping-treatment. After treatment we observed the improvement. Based on this study, it is considered that oriental medical treatment can be applied to the management of vestibular neuronitis.
