Synopsis

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

Lavandula (commonly known as lavender) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine for a variety of ailments, including symptoms related to nervousness and anxiety, which may sometimes be associated with dizziness. In traditional European and Mediterranean herbal practices, lavender has been used as a calming agent, thought to help with faintness and light-headedness, though the primary focus has typically been on anxiety, headaches, and sleep disturbances rather than dizziness per se. There are anecdotal reports and some historical texts suggesting that lavender, especially in the form of essential oil inhalation or herbal teas, may help relieve feelings of lightheadedness or mild dizziness, particularly when these symptoms are related to stress or emotional upset.

However, there is very limited scientific evidence directly supporting the use of lavender for the treatment or support of dizziness (vertigo). Modern clinical studies have largely focused on lavender's effects on anxiety, sleep, and mild pain, rather than balance disorders or vertigo. As such, the use of lavender for dizziness is primarily justified by traditional usage rather than scientific validation, and the strength of evidence is weak. Anyone experiencing persistent or unexplained dizziness should seek medical evaluation to rule out underlying conditions.
