Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
The use of herbal blends or combinations to treat dizziness is primarily justified by traditional medicine practices rather than robust scientific validation. In many traditional systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, dizziness is believed to be caused by imbalances in the body's vital energies or humors. Herbal formulas containing a combination of roots, leaves, and other plant parts are often prescribed to "harmonize" or "strengthen" the body, with the intention of alleviating symptoms like dizziness or vertigo. Examples include TCM formulas like Ban Xia Bai Zhu Tian Ma Tang, which combines several herbs thought to resolve "phlegm" and calm the liver. Scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of such blends for treating dizziness is limited. Most clinical studies focus on individual ingredients rather than complex combinations, and the methodological quality of the available research is often low. There are some small studies and case reports suggesting that certain herbal combinations may help with vertigo or dizziness, but these findings are preliminary and not widely replicated. Systematic reviews generally conclude that more rigorous research is needed to confirm efficacy and safety. Therefore, while traditional use is well-documented, scientific validation remains insufficient, warranting a moderate-low evidence rating.
