Synopsis

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

Thymus satureioides, commonly known as "zahri" in Morocco, is a medicinal plant widely used in traditional Moroccan and North African medicine. Its use to address dizziness (sometimes described in folk medicine as "vertigo" or "lightheadedness") is rooted in ethnobotanical practices rather than scientific evidence. Traditional healers may recommend infusions or decoctions of Thymus satureioides for various ailments, including headaches, digestive issues, and occasionally dizziness, though dizziness is not among its most frequently cited indications. The rationale in traditional medicine often involves the plant's reputed tonic and circulatory properties, believed to "strengthen the head" or improve "blood flow."

However, scientific studies on Thymus satureioides have mainly focused on its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, with no clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly examining its effects on dizziness or vertigo. The evidence supporting its use for dizziness is therefore limited to traditional knowledge, with anecdotal support rather than systematic research. Overall, use of Thymus satureioides for dizziness is justified by tradition, but lacks scientific validation, and the quality of supporting evidence is weak (rated 1 out of 5).
