🎄 Common Holiday Scents That Can Trigger Vestibular Migraine 🎄

For many people, the holidays are filled with cozy scents like candles, perfumes, and essential oils. But if you live with vestibular migraine, these smells can sometimes trigger dizziness, nausea, headaches, and imbalance.

Here are a few common holiday scents that may be triggering symptoms:

🕯️ Scented Candles
Popular holiday scents like cinnamon, pine, vanilla, and spice blends can be overwhelming to a sensitive nervous system.

✨ Strong Perfumes & Colognes
Fragrance layers during the holidays can quickly overload the vestibular system and provoke migraine symptoms.

🌿 Essential Oils
While often used for relaxation, strong oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus can be triggering for some individuals.

If you notice your dizziness or migraine symptoms increase around strong scents, you are not alone. Avoiding heavy fragrance, improving ventilation, and choosing fragrance-free options can help reduce symptom flares.

Paying attention to what your body is telling you is an important step in managing vestibular migraine.🩵

Holiday stress does not just affect your mood. It can directly impact your dizziness, too. 🎄🌀

When stress increases, your nervous system works overtime and your vestibular system becomes more sensitive. This can make dizziness, imbalance, brain fog, and lightheadedness feel stronger than usual.

If you have been feeling more dizzy than normal this season, you are not alone.

Use these two simple checklists to help you recognize stress and gently support your body through it.

Save this post so you can refer back to it throughout the holidays.

You deserve calm, clarity, and care. 🩵✨

Holiday lights can be beautiful, but for many people with vestibular conditions, they can also be overwhelming. 🎄✨

Bright bulbs, flashing displays, and rapid visual patterns make the brain work harder to stay balanced. If you feel dizzy, unsteady, or overstimulated around holiday lights, your symptoms are real and valid.

The more you understand what triggers visual overwhelm, the better you can prepare during the busy holiday season.

You are not alone. We are here to help you navigate every environment with confidence. ❤️

Today, on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we honor and acknowledge the millions of people living with invisible disabilities, including vestibular disorders.

Dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, visual motion sensitivity, chronic fatigue, and migraines may not be visible to others, but they impact daily life in very real ways.

If you live with a vestibular condition, please know this:
🩵 Your symptoms are real
🩵 Your experience is valid
🩵 Your challenges deserve understanding
🩵 You are not alone

To our community, thank you for your strength, your resilience, and your courage.
To those supporting someone with an invisible disability, your compassion makes a difference.

Together, we can create a world with more awareness, more empathy, and more support for those whose struggles cannot always be seen.

This Thanksgiving week, take a moment to reflect on your vestibular journey.

Living with dizziness and balance disorders isn’t easy. There are days when simply getting out of bed feels like a victory.

But look at how far you’ve come.

You’ve learned to listen to your body. You’ve advocated for yourself when symptoms were dismissed. You’ve kept searching for answers even when it felt hopeless.

This week, practice gratitude, not just for what you have, but for the resilience you’ve built:
✨ Gratitude for the small wins and steady days
✨ Gratitude for your body doing its best to find balance
✨ Gratitude for progress, however small it may seem

You deserve to celebrate how far you’ve come. Your journey matters.

From all of us at the Dizzy & Vertigo Institute, we’re grateful for the privilege of being part of your healing journey. 🩵

Family Conversation Guide: How to Explain Your Invisible Illness to Relatives at Thanksgiving 🦃

Thanksgiving can feel overwhelming when you’re living with dizziness or an invisible illness. Between “you look fine” and unwanted advice, it’s easy to feel unseen.

You don’t owe anyone a performance of wellness. You’re allowed to rest, set boundaries, and show up exactly as you are.

At Dizzy & Vertigo Institute, we see the strength behind your struggle. 🩵

Did you know winter weather can affect your balance and dizziness symptoms? ❄️

As temperatures drop and barometric pressure shifts, many people notice an increase in vestibular symptoms. Here’s why:

🌡️ Barometric Pressure Changes
Pressure fluctuations can impact the fluid in your inner ear, triggering dizziness or vertigo in conditions like Menière’s disease, vestibular migraine, or PPPD.

❄️ Cold-Induced Muscle Tension
Cold weather often causes neck and shoulder tension, which can affect blood flow and increase dizziness or migraine symptoms.

🏃 Less Movement
Reduced outdoor activity in winter can decondition your balance system, making symptoms feel stronger.

🌨️ Visual Challenges
Snow, glare, and lower light can overwhelm your visual system and worsen dizziness for those sensitive to motion.

What Helps:
- Stay hydrated
- Continue vestibular exercises indoors
- Use warm compresses to relax neck muscles
- Track symptoms with weather changes
- Communicate with your vestibular specialist

Seasonal changes can impact dizziness. Understanding these patterns helps you stay balanced and prepared all winter long. 🩵

You might not notice it right away, but every small step you take toward balance matters.

The moments when you feel a little stronger, a little steadier, and a little more confident are the signs that healing is happening.

✨ Be patient with your progress.
✨ Listen to your body.
✨ Celebrate every win, no matter how small.

You are steadier than yesterday, and that’s something to be proud of. 🩵
