Tulbaghia, commonly known as wild garlic or society garlic, is a medicinal plant native to southern Africa. Within traditional medicine, particularly in some South African communities, Tulbaghia species have been used to address a range of ailments, including fever, colds, and headaches. Reports from ethnobotanical surveys indicate that Tulbaghia is sometimes used for symptoms that may overlap with dizziness, such as headaches or general malaise, but there is limited documentation explicitly supporting its use specifically for dizziness. Scientific evidence for Tulbaghia’s efficacy in treating dizziness is lacking; few, if any, clinical or pharmacological studies have directly evaluated its effects on vertigo or dizziness. The plant does contain bioactive compounds (such as organosulfur compounds) that have shown antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and hypotensive properties in preliminary studies. However, these effects do not directly correlate with symptom relief for dizziness and are not sufficient to scientifically justify its use for this specific purpose. Thus, while there is a basis in tradition for the use of Tulbaghia in treating a spectrum of ailments, the evidence for its use in treating dizziness is weak and primarily anecdotal.
