Synopsis

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

Ginseng, particularly Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine and other Asian medical systems for various ailments, including symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and sometimes dizziness. In traditional contexts, dizziness is often associated with "qi deficiency" or poor circulation, and ginseng is believed to restore energy balance and improve overall vitality. However, the evidence supporting its specific use for dizziness is largely anecdotal or based on traditional theory rather than rigorous clinical research.

Scientific studies on ginseng have mainly focused on its effects on fatigue, cognitive function, and metabolic health, with very limited direct investigation into its effectiveness for dizziness. There are a few small studies and case reports suggesting ginseng may improve cerebral blood flow or alleviate postural hypotension, which could theoretically help with dizziness in certain cases. However, these findings are not robust or consistent enough to provide strong scientific validation. Therefore, while traditional use is documented, the current scientific evidence supporting ginseng for dizziness is weak and indirect.
