Dizziness after travel: This helps!

When the ground does not stop shaking for weeks after a trip, one understandably looks for a quick solution. But when Mal de Débarquement (MdDS) often does not pursue blind activism because the brain needs a completely different strategy.

What really matters in treatment:

• Patience for the re-adaptation: The brain has become accustomed to the passive movement and now has to learn again that the ground is solid. This adaptation usually happens on its own, but often takes weeks or months.
• Calm the nervous system: Anything that reduces stress and brings calm is the most effective support: Mindfulness, meditation, relaxation techniques, and psychotherapeutic support help the brain get out of the alarm mode.
• The trap of constant research: constant monitoring, symptom tracking, and the frantic search for the „one miracle cure“ keep your nervous system under constant strain, and it is precisely this stress that inhibits the brain from quickly adapting again.
• Optimism instead of pressure: Give your body time. A calm, confident attitude creates the best conditions for the signals in your head to find their own balance again.
