Synopsis

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

Sage oil (Salvia officinalis) has a long-standing history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in European and Mediterranean regions. Historically, it has been employed for a range of ailments, including digestive issues, memory support, and as a general tonic. Its use specifically for dizziness (often referred to as vertigo or lightheadedness) is less well-documented, but some traditional herbal texts and folk remedies mention sage or sage oil as a supportive agent, often in the context of promoting general well-being or calming the nerves, which may secondarily help with symptoms like dizziness.

However, scientific evidence supporting the use of sage oil for treating dizziness is minimal. There are no high-quality clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies demonstrating efficacy in this area. Most modern research on sage focuses on its cognitive, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties rather than its effects on dizziness or balance disorders. As such, the rating for evidence is low (1/5), reflecting the anecdotal and traditional nature of its use rather than scientific validation. Individuals interested in using sage oil for dizziness should exercise caution and consult a healthcare provider, as essential oils can have side effects and interact with other medications.
