Rating (out of 5): 1

Artemisia is a large genus of plants that includes species such as Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood), Artemisia absinthium (wormwood), and Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort). In traditional medicine systems, particularly in Chinese and other Asian herbal practices, certain Artemisia species (notably Artemisia argyi and Artemisia vulgaris) have been used for symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo. This use is often based on the belief that these herbs can "dispel wind" and "clear heat," which are traditional concepts in Chinese Medicine related to imbalances causing symptoms like dizziness. However, the scientific evidence supporting Artemisia for dizziness is extremely limited; there are no well-conducted clinical trials or rigorous pharmacological studies directly validating its efficacy for this specific symptom. Most references to Artemisia's use for dizziness are found in traditional herbal compendia or anecdotal reports. While some Artemisia species have recognized pharmacological actions (such as antimalarial or anti-inflammatory effects), these do not specifically translate to clinical benefits for dizziness. Therefore, the use of Artemisia for dizziness is justified primarily by tradition rather than scientific validation, and the quality of evidence is low.
