Synopsis

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

Oriental ginseng (Panax ginseng) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, often as a general tonic to boost vitality, support energy, and address symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. In ancient texts, ginseng is described as a remedy that "restores Qi" (vital energy) and is believed to help with conditions associated with weakness and lightheadedness, which may include dizziness. The use of ginseng for dizziness is largely based on this traditional framework rather than direct modern scientific validation.

Scientific studies on Panax ginseng have investigated its effects on fatigue, cognitive function, and circulation, but there is limited clinical research specifically examining its efficacy for dizziness or vertigo. Some studies suggest ginseng may improve blood circulation and reduce fatigue, which in theory could help address some causes of dizziness related to low blood pressure or general weakness. However, robust, placebo-controlled clinical trials directly assessing ginseng’s impact on dizziness are lacking. Therefore, while ginseng’s use for dizziness has a foundation in traditional practice, scientific evidence remains minimal and indirect.

In summary, the use of Oriental ginseng for dizziness is primarily justified by historical and traditional usage, with only weak supporting evidence from modern research. Those interested in using ginseng for this purpose should consult healthcare professionals, especially as dizziness may have serious underlying causes requiring medical attention.
