Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

White Peony (Paeonia lactiflora) has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it is known as "Bai Shao." It is commonly included in herbal formulations intended to "nourish the blood," "calm the liver," and address symptoms categorized as "dizziness" or "vertigo" due to blood deficiency or liver yang rising. The traditional rationale is that dizziness can be a result of weakened blood or internal wind, and White Peony is thought to replenish blood and anchor yang, thus alleviating dizziness.

There is some limited modern research on White Peony's effects, mainly focusing on its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and neuroprotective properties, but these studies generally do not target dizziness specifically. Clinical trials evaluating White Peony for dizziness are sparse, and most evidence derives from its inclusion in multi-herb formulas rather than as a single agent. Thus, while there is strong traditional precedent for its use in this context, scientific validation is minimal. The rating of 2 reflects the presence of observational and historical evidence without significant modern clinical support.
