Synopsis

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

Gardenia jasminoides (also known as Zhizi in traditional Chinese medicine) has a long history of use in East Asian herbal medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is classified as a cooling herb and is said to clear heat, calm irritability, and relieve certain symptoms such as fever, jaundice, and headaches. Occasionally, formulas containing Gardenia jasminoides have been used to address symptoms like dizziness, particularly when it is believed to be caused by "heat" or "phlegm" affecting the body's balance.

However, there is little to no robust modern scientific evidence supporting its efficacy specifically for treating dizziness. Most research on Gardenia jasminoides focuses on its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties, but these studies rarely address dizziness directly. In summary, its use for dizziness is based primarily on TCM theory and tradition rather than scientific validation.
