Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

"Amor seco" is a common name used in Latin America for several plant species, most notably Desmodium adscendens and Bidens pilosa, among others. Traditionally, various parts of these plants have been used in folk medicine to treat a range of ailments, including respiratory issues, liver problems, and inflammatory conditions. In some regions, "amor seco" has been employed to support symptoms such as dizziness or vertigo; however, such uses are primarily based on anecdotal accounts and ethnobotanical sources rather than systematic research. There are a handful of reports in traditional medicine literature documenting the use of amor seco for "mareos" (dizziness) or to "clear the head," but these are not accompanied by controlled clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies.

A search of scientific literature reveals no validated clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness of any "amor seco" species for treating dizziness. The use in this context is therefore best characterized as traditional, with minimal direct evidence (hence the low rating of 1), and should not be considered a scientifically established remedy. Anyone experiencing persistent dizziness should consult a healthcare provider, as it may signal an underlying medical issue.
