Pripheral vertigo occurs if there is a problem with the part of the inner ear that controls balance or with the vestibular nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brainstem. Peripheral vertigo is caused by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV), Menieres disease, vestibular neuronitis, or labyrinthitis. We diagnosed five patients who have severe vertigo as peripheral vertigo and Dam Hun. We treated them with Banhabaeckchulchunma-tang gagam and acupuncture. After treatment, vertigo and other symptoms -nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort had improved. So I report these cases, but more clinical case reports are needed.
