Synopsis

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

Chinese Tinospora (Tinospora sinensis or Tinospora cordifolia, though the latter is more common in Ayurvedic medicine) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine primarily for its purported detoxifying, antipyretic, and immune-modulating properties. The traditional use of Tinospora in the context of dizziness is not prominent in classical texts, but it may appear as part of multi-herb formulas aimed at clearing "heat," resolving "toxins," or tonifying the body, which are sometimes employed in cases where dizziness is believed to be a symptom of internal heat or deficiency. There are scattered references in modern compilations and TCM practice where dizziness is listed among the symptoms addressed by herbal formulas containing Tinospora, but it is typically not the primary indication and is often secondary to other complaints such as fever or weakness. There is currently minimal scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of Chinese Tinospora for treating dizziness. Most pharmacological studies on Tinospora focus on its immune, anti-inflammatory, or antidiabetic effects rather than on neurological or vestibular conditions. No robust clinical trials or mechanistic studies specifically address dizziness or vertigo. Thus, its use for dizziness is rooted in traditional practice rather than validated through modern scientific research.
