Ear balance usually means a sensation of impending loss of consciousness; the patient feels lightheaded, as if he or she is going to fall at any moment. Dizziness is usually caused by problems related to blood circulation. Ayurveda terms this condition as sanyaasa.
Food and drink combined inharmoniously, suppression of the urgings of stools and urine, external injuries, and all acts which lessen the attribute of satva (goodness of mind) and excite the vaata lead to the problem. These, penetrating into ducts which are the seat of mind and by which the mind communicates with the senses, increase the attribute of tamas (darkness) and produce loss of consciousness.
