For the health condition: Dizziness
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Artemisia herba-alba, also known as white wormwood, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East. It is commonly employed for a range of ailments, including digestive disorders, infections, and as a general tonic. Reports of its use specifically for dizziness exist within folk medicine traditions, where it is sometimes used to "clear the head" or as part of remedies for symptoms resembling vertigo or weakness.
However, there is a lack of rigorous scientific research directly linking Artemisia herba-alba to the treatment or support of dizziness. Most available studies focus on its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties. There are no clinical trials or well-designed animal studies demonstrating efficacy or elucidating a mechanism for Artemisia herba-alba in the management of dizziness or vertigo. Thus, while traditional use for dizziness is occasionally mentioned in ethnobotanical surveys, the scientific evidence to support such use is minimal to nonexistent.
In summary, the use of Artemisia herba-alba for dizziness is rooted in traditional practices with very limited direct evidence. Individuals considering its use for this purpose should be aware of the lack of clinical validation and consult healthcare professionals for evidence-based approaches to managing dizziness.
