Synopsis

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

Panax ginseng has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other East Asian medical systems for a variety of conditions, including symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. In TCM, ginseng is often prescribed to "tonify Qi" (vital energy), support overall vitality, and address symptoms thought to arise from deficiencies or imbalances, such as dizziness, weakness, and faintness. Case reports and traditional texts describe the use of ginseng formulas for patients experiencing dizziness, particularly when attributed to general weakness or recovery from illness.

However, modern scientific studies specifically evaluating Panax ginseng for the treatment of dizziness are limited. Some contemporary clinical studies have explored ginseng’s effects on fatigue, cognitive function, and general well-being, which could indirectly relate to symptoms like dizziness, especially if caused by fatigue or poor circulation. There is some evidence suggesting ginseng may improve cerebral blood flow and reduce fatigue, but direct, high-quality clinical trials targeting dizziness as a primary endpoint are lacking. Therefore, the use of Panax ginseng for dizziness is primarily justified by traditional use, with only limited scientific support. The overall evidence rating is modest due to the predominance of traditional use over direct clinical validation.
