Synopsis

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

Thatch screw-pine (Pandanus tectorius) has been traditionally used in some cultures for a variety of medicinal purposes, including for symptoms such as dizziness. Ethnobotanical records suggest that parts of the plant, such as the leaves and fruits, have been used in folk remedies to address ailments related to the nervous system or general malaise, which may include dizziness. However, there is very limited documentation in the scientific literature or comprehensive pharmacological studies validating its efficacy specifically for dizziness. Most references to its use for dizziness are anecdotal or embedded in traditional practices, particularly in regions such as Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.

There are very few, if any, peer-reviewed clinical trials evaluating the effect of Pandanus tectorius on dizziness or vertigo in humans. The rating of "1" reflects the fact that while there is some traditional use, it is minor and not well documented, and there is virtually no scientific evidence to support its efficacy for this condition. Those considering the use of Thatch screw-pine for dizziness should exercise caution and consult healthcare professionals, as evidence is lacking and the safety profile for this specific indication is not established.
