Synopsis

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

Pagoda Tree (Sophora japonica), known as "Huai Hua" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been used historically for various conditions, primarily for its hemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties. In TCM, it is sometimes included in herbal formulas intended to "clear heat," "cool the blood," or "stop bleeding," and these formulas may be used in cases where dizziness is thought to arise from "heat in the blood" or "wind." However, the direct use of Pagoda Tree specifically for dizziness is not a prominent or primary indication in traditional or modern herbal texts. There is limited mention of its use for symptoms like dizziness, and such uses, when cited, are often based on extrapolation from its effects on blood pressure, circulation, or cerebral blood flow. Scientifically, there are few studies that specifically investigate Pagoda Tree or its constituents (such as rutin) for the treatment of dizziness. The available evidence does not establish a clear mechanism or efficacy for this indication. Therefore, the use of Pagoda Tree for dizziness is justified more by traditional theories and anecdotal experience rather than scientific validation, and the supporting evidence is weak or indirect.
