Synopsis

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

Allium tuberosum, commonly known as Chinese chive or garlic chive, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In TCM, the seeds of Allium tuberosum (often referred to as "Jiu Cai Zi") are sometimes used to address symptoms such as dizziness, particularly when related to what TCM describes as "Kidney Yang deficiency" or "Liver Wind." These uses are rooted in traditional theories and are documented in classic materia medica texts, such as the "Compendium of Materia Medica" (Bencao Gangmu). However, the scientific literature does not provide robust evidence to support the use of Allium tuberosum for treating dizziness. There are no well-designed clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly linking the consumption or use of Allium tuberosum to measurable improvements in dizziness or vertigo in modern medical terms. Thus, while there is a traditional basis for its use in this context, the supporting evidence is limited to historical and anecdotal accounts rather than modern scientific validation.
