Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Angelica archangelica (commonly known as garden angelica) has been traditionally used in European herbal medicine for a variety of ailments, including digestive complaints, respiratory conditions, and as a general tonic. Its use to support or treat dizziness is primarily rooted in traditional or folk medicine rather than modern scientific validation. In historical herbal texts, angelica has sometimes been recommended for symptoms such as weakness, faintness, or vertigo, often as part of multi-herb preparations intended to "strengthen the head" or "invigorate the body." These uses may be connected to its aromatic and stimulant properties, which were believed to help with circulation and "uplifting the spirits." However, there is a lack of high-quality clinical research specifically investigating the efficacy of Angelica archangelica for the treatment or support of dizziness or vertigo. While some laboratory studies have explored its antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory effects, none directly address dizziness as an endpoint. Modern herbal references may mention its traditional uses, but they do not provide robust scientific backing for its use in this context. Therefore, the support for Angelica archangelica in treating dizziness is best described as traditional, with limited or anecdotal evidence, and its effectiveness has not been substantiated by rigorous scientific studies.
