Synopsis

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

European Vervain (Verbena officinalis) has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, where it has been employed for a variety of conditions, including as a nervine and for symptoms like headaches and general weakness. Occasionally, it has been mentioned in herbal compendia as a remedy for symptoms that could be associated with dizziness, such as nervous exhaustion or "weakness of the nerves." However, the references specifically linking European Vervain to the treatment or support of dizziness are sparse and generally not well-documented in either historical texts or modern phytotherapy literature. There is no robust scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for dizziness, and clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly addressing this indication are lacking. The traditional use is therefore weak and largely anecdotal, with little specificity for dizziness as a distinct symptom. Most modern herbalists do not highlight vervain as a primary herb for this condition. In summary, while vervain may have been used traditionally for related symptoms, the evidence—both historical and scientific—for its specific use in dizziness is limited and not strongly substantiated.
