I guess they are tablets and a cream you rub behind your ear. On the website, they list the website and it has vertigo headache as one of the properties as a purpose so I’m going to sign up for my free 60-day trial! Just wanted to share!
I must admit homeopathy never worked for me. But… I knew an old lady who suffered badly with migraines and balance problems and she swore by a homeopathic remedy called cocculus (vertigoheel).

It’s water. That’s why you don’t need a prescription and why it’s perfectly safe and natural. That much is true. If you live in a first world country generally tap water is safe and almost free. If you buy it in a bottle marked “Homeopathic medicine” it will cost you a few hundred bucks per litre.
How ZyVestra water works ‘both inside and out’ is beyond me - hydrates and cleans?
In the interests of giving ZyVestra the benefit of the doubt I checked out their website. All nonsense. The ‘clinical trials’ they list tested actual ingredients. The ZyVestra product, being homeopathic, contains no trace of any of those ingredients. That they list ‘Active Ingredients’ on the product lables is, without getting too technical about it, crap.
I’m not sure why homeopathy is held in such high esteem in european countries such as Germany… but then, well…uh, never mind. Anyway, I’ve tried homeopathic remedies and must say that cocculus is used a lot for motion sickness/nausea/dizziness, but for being such a “benign” substance with no side effects, etc. it sure is one expensive substance. And, in the book Trick or Treatment (one of the authors is a pioneer in the field of complementary medicine) they scourge homeopathy as pure placebo… it’s all too bad. I bought a tiny vial of a nasty smelling oil at the health food store that you place behind your ear for dizziness, and it seemed to work for a few days then lost the effect. That has been my experience with homeopathic remedies - only a few days of that placebo effect and then I wish I had my money back.
Salem, I hate to be so discouraging since all of us on the forum are desperate to find relief. You should try it out yourself, and report back to us if so inclined!

Zyvestra contains exactly the same main ingredient that is prescribed in Vertigoheel in the USA and Canada. The active ingriedient is Cocculus. Vertigoheel has to be ‘prescribed’ thats why most people just get the ingredient via the homeopath way.
I’ve tried it and it doesnt do jack. But that might just be me. :!:
thanks for all your comments- so good to hear all of them. i did a little more research and i guess it’s $100 a bottle a month…it’s nice to know that you can get your $ back but if you can get the same ingredients cheaper then that sounds better to me! i’m still debating and will keep you posted!!!
my almost 90 year old mother tried the stuff as a last resort, and she hasn’t sufferered from vertigo since- her vertigo was so bad she could barely make it to bed to rest it off- she could barely sleep- all she could do was just lay there with her head spinning, sometimes all day and many hours into the night- placebo or not, we don’t care- she’s fine now- my sister swears by homeopathy (and my grandmother did too) although I’ve tried different homeopathic remedies and they’ve never worked for me. The zyvestra sales people are horrible- since my mother is hard of hearing, I have to place the order for her, and when I’m done, I’m just exhausted- they are VERY hard sell, and if there’s one thing I can’t stand is a pushy sales person (and calling these folks pushy is an understatement!!) Having said all that, I just noticed before I came on this site that it’s for sale on ebay, so I’ll get it there in the future.
I ordered VertiFree made by Native Remedies when I first go vertigo. The active ingredient is cocculus. Sadly I have to agree with everyone else, it didn’t do jack.
From what I understand, and anyone can correct me if I am wrong, there are so many different causes of vertigo and the kind that Migraine causes is central vertigo, in our brains, not so much vestibular. I think Zyvestra and cocculus may work for some people bc they have more vestibular issues where as ours are more neurological. But if you want to give it a go, then I would! You never know!
Again, I am not as educated as some of you are about all this so if I am misinformed feel free to let me know!
I have tried VertigoHeel and Zyvestra - both the cream and the pills and it didn’t work. If you try anything homeopathic, I think in this case you would need to try something for migraine. The vertigo is a symptom of that.
I have had success with some homeopathics in the past. Coldcalm by Borion is one that does seem to work for colds. When my son was 2 it worked really well for him and there is no placebo effect with a 2 year old.
