Synopsis

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

Large-Leaved Linden (Tilia platyphyllos) has a well-documented history in traditional European herbal medicine, where its flowers have been used as a mild sedative, diaphoretic (to induce sweating), and to address symptoms such as headaches and mild nervous tension. The use of linden flowers for treating dizziness (vertigo or lightheadedness) is primarily rooted in this traditional context. Folk medicine sources suggest that linden infusions were sometimes given to calm the nerves and ease symptoms like dizziness, especially when related to anxiety, stress, or nervous exhaustion. However, there is a lack of robust scientific studies or clinical trials directly examining the efficacy of Large-Leaved Linden for dizziness specifically. Most modern herbal references and pharmacopoeias mention its use for colds, coughs, and as a calming agent, with only occasional mention of dizziness, and always in the context of historical or anecdotal use. Therefore, while there is traditional precedent for using linden in this way, the evidence is limited and largely anecdotal, and it does not meet current standards for scientific validation.
