Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Ginseng has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it is considered a "tonic" that helps to restore balance and vitality. In TCM, dizziness is often attributed to deficiencies or imbalances in Qi (vital energy), blood, or the function of certain organs like the spleen and liver. Ginseng, especially Panax ginseng, is thought to tonify Qi, improve circulation, and strengthen the body’s resistance to stress, which is believed to help alleviate symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and weakness.
While these traditional uses are well documented in historical texts and continue to be mentioned in modern herbal compendiums, scientific evidence specifically supporting ginseng’s efficacy in the treatment or management of dizziness is limited. Some clinical studies have explored ginseng’s effects on fatigue, cognitive function, and general well-being, but few have directly investigated dizziness as an endpoint. Any anti-dizziness effects may be secondary to improvements in circulation or energy levels, rather than a direct therapeutic action.
In summary, ginseng’s use for dizziness is primarily rooted in traditional practice rather than validated by robust scientific research. People considering ginseng for this purpose should be aware that evidence supporting its effectiveness for dizziness is limited, and they should consult healthcare professionals for persistent or severe symptoms.
