Vestibular labyrinths [the inner ear balance canals] produce a balance of meaningful impulses for the maintenance of equilibrium. The individual sense organs of the inner ear are interdependent and a disturbance in the harmonious relationship can cause vertigo. These sense organs have cells that generate electrical impulses through the balance nerve to the balance portion of the brain. Interaction with the electrical impulses from the feet and from the eyes at the level of the cerebellum [brain balance center] allow for smooth coordination of movement and balance. Anything that interferes with information arriving at the Cerebellum [balance portion of the brain] such as a pinched nerve in the back or neck, inflammation of the inner ear, or vision disturbance will lead to imbalance.

Clinical studies have shown that the herbal in DizzyStop® is believed to act through a hormonal mechanism reducing the abnormal stimulation to the brain that causes the symptoms of motion sickness.
