Synopsis

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

Chamomile has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine for a variety of ailments, including digestive discomfort, anxiety, and as a gentle sedative. Its use for dizziness is primarily grounded in traditional practices, particularly in European and Middle Eastern folk medicine, where chamomile tea or extracts have been given to people experiencing nervousness, lightheadedness, or mild vertigo. The rationale in these traditions often relates to chamomile's calming effects, its ability to reduce anxiety (which can sometimes be associated with dizziness), and its role in soothing gastrointestinal symptoms that may accompany dizziness.

However, scientific studies specifically evaluating chamomile for the treatment or management of dizziness are lacking. Most clinical and pharmacological research on chamomile centers on its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anti-inflammatory, and mild sedative properties, with some evidence supporting its use for insomnia and mild anxiety. There are no robust, high-quality clinical trials demonstrating its efficacy directly for dizziness or vertigo. Therefore, while chamomile is sometimes used for dizziness within traditional systems, this use is not substantiated by scientific validation, and evidence for effectiveness is minimal.

In summary, the use of chamomile for dizziness is primarily traditional, with a very low level of supporting evidence from scientific research.
