Synopsis

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

Eupolyphaga sinensis, also known as "Tu Bie Chong" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is primarily justified for use in treating dizziness by tradition rather than scientific validation. In TCM, Eupolyphaga sinensis is considered to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and assist in resolving conditions attributed to blood obstructions. Dizziness in TCM is often linked to issues such as blood stasis, phlegm obstruction, or deficiency syndromes. As such, herbalists may include Eupolyphaga sinensis in formulas intended to invigorate blood and address these underlying causes of dizziness. However, the classical and contemporary materia medica texts generally list its primary indications as trauma, amenorrhea, masses, and pain due to blood stasis, with only indirect or occasional references to dizziness as a secondary symptom related to these conditions. From a scientific perspective, there is very limited research evaluating Eupolyphaga sinensis for the direct treatment of dizziness. Most pharmacological studies have focused on its anti-tumor, anti-coagulation, and wound healing properties. There is insufficient clinical or experimental evidence to support its efficacy specifically for dizziness. Therefore, the evidence rating is low (1), reflecting that its use for dizziness is largely based on traditional theoretical frameworks and not supported by robust modern scientific studies.
