Synopsis

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

Fragrant Angelica (Angelica dahurica), known as "Bai Zhi" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been used historically in East Asian herbal practices. Its primary traditional uses include the treatment of headaches, nasal congestion, and certain skin disorders. Dizziness is not one of its most prominent or direct indications in classic TCM texts; however, it has sometimes been included in multi-herb formulas that address conditions involving headaches and vertigo, which can overlap with dizziness. The rationale is primarily based on the herb's supposed ability to "dispel wind" and relieve pain, which are TCM concepts related to symptoms like dizziness. From a scientific perspective, there is currently a lack of robust clinical evidence or pharmacological studies directly evaluating Fragrant Angelica for dizziness or vertigo. Most available research focuses on its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, rather than effects on balance or vestibular symptoms. Therefore, while there is some tradition of use for related symptoms, the evidence supporting its specific use for dizziness is weak and not substantiated by modern scientific studies. As such, its use for this condition is rated low for evidence but could be encountered in certain traditional contexts.
