Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Luo San (often referring to Luoshan or related Chinese herbal formulations) is primarily used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practices. Its use for dizziness is justified by traditional principles rather than robust scientific evidence. In TCM, dizziness is often attributed to issues such as "wind," "phlegm," or deficiencies in the body's energy (qi), blood, or yin. Luo San, which may contain a combination of herbs aimed at dispelling phlegm, calming the liver, or nourishing the blood, has been recommended in classical TCM texts and by practitioners for centuries. However, there is a lack of high-quality clinical trials or rigorous scientific investigations directly supporting Luo San's efficacy for treating dizziness. Most of the available evidence consists of case reports, anecdotal accounts, and theoretical frameworks unique to TCM. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses on herbal formulas for dizziness rarely mention Luo San specifically, and when they do, evidence quality tends to be low. In summary, Luo San's use for dizziness is rooted in traditional practice, with supporting evidence primarily historical and experiential rather than scientific or clinical in nature.
