1. Internal injury caused by emotions and excessive yang in the body, coupled with excessive anger, can cause hyperactivity of liver yang, yang rising and wind moving, resulting in dizziness; or due to long-term depression and anger, qi stagnation turns into fire, which consumes liver yin, hyperactivity of liver yang, yang rising and wind moving, disturbing the clear mind and causing dizziness.

2. Improper diet can damage the spleen and stomach, weaken the spleen and stomach, cause no source for the production of qi and blood, and cause the clear orifices to be malnourished, resulting in dizziness; or addiction to alcohol, fatty foods, hunger, fullness, and fatigue can damage the spleen and stomach, causing dysfunction of healthy functioning, so that food and water cannot be transformed into essence, moisture accumulates to form phlegm, phlegm and dampness block the middle part of the body, and turbid yin cannot descend, causing dizziness.

If you are born with deficiency, the kidney essence is insufficient, or you have kidney deficiency due to old age, or long-term illness damages the kidneys, or you have excessive sexual intercourse, then the kidney essence will be deficient and cannot produce marrow. The brain is the sea of ​​marrow, and if the sea of ​​marrow is insufficient, both the upper and lower parts will be deficient, and dizziness will occur. Or the kidney yin is deficient and the liver is not nourished, resulting in insufficient liver yin, inability of yin to control yang, and hyperactivity of liver yang, causing dizziness. Dizziness can occur after a serious illness, a long illness, or blood loss, which causes the person to become too weak to recover, or overwork, which causes the decline of qi and blood, or both qi and blood deficiency. If the qi is deficient, the clear yang cannot develop, and if the blood is deficient, the brain loses nourishment, all of which can cause dizziness.
