Synopsis

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

The use of Borassus palm (commonly known as Palmyra palm) to treat or support dizziness is primarily grounded in traditional medicine rather than being supported by robust scientific evidence. In various parts of South and Southeast Asia, different parts of the Borassus palm—such as its fruit, sap, and roots—have been used for a range of ailments in folk remedies. Historical texts and ethnobotanical surveys occasionally mention its use for symptoms related to general weakness, fatigue, or as a cooling agent, which could be indirectly related to sensations of dizziness, especially when caused by heat or dehydration. However, there is little to no direct documentation of its use specifically for dizziness (vertigo) in authoritative traditional sources, and the connection is generally inferred by broader indications for "restoring strength" or "alleviating heat."

Scientifically, there are no clinical studies or pharmacological research directly supporting the efficacy of Borassus palm for treating dizziness. The evidence is anecdotal and limited to traditional practices, with no validated active compounds proven to have vestibular or neurological stabilizing effects. As such, while Borassus palm may have a place in local medicinal traditions, its use for dizziness is weakly supported and should not be considered evidence-based.
