Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Flavonoid mixtures, particularly those containing compounds like hesperidin and diosmin derived from citrus fruits, have a history of traditional use in Europe and parts of Asia for supporting vascular health and symptoms such as dizziness. The rationale comes from the observation that flavonoids may help to strengthen blood vessels, reduce capillary fragility, and improve microcirculation. Dizziness, especially when related to poor peripheral or cerebral circulation, was historically thought to be alleviated by improving vascular function. In traditional medicine, especially in France, flavonoid mixtures have been included in remedies for venous insufficiency and associated symptoms, which sometimes include dizziness or lightheadedness. However, high-quality scientific studies directly linking flavonoid mixtures to improvement in dizziness are limited. Most clinical trials and systematic reviews focus on their benefits for chronic venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids, or lymphedema, rather than dizziness specifically. Some studies suggest that improved vascular tone and reduced capillary permeability could theoretically help with dizziness of vascular origin, but robust clinical evidence is lacking. Thus, while the use of flavonoid mixtures for dizziness is primarily grounded in traditional practice and theoretical benefits on circulation, current scientific validation for this specific indication is weak.
