Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Arani (generally referring to the plant Premna serratifolia), is a herb used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It has a long history of being included in polyherbal formulations such as Dashamoola, which are used to treat a variety of ailments including fever, inflammation, and nervous system disorders. In traditional Ayurvedic texts, Arani is sometimes listed for its supposed benefits in balancing the "Vata" dosha, disturbances of which are loosely associated with dizziness, vertigo, and similar neurological symptoms. However, the references to dizziness are indirect and not specific or robust. There is no modern scientific evidence or clinical trial data supporting the use of Arani (Premna serratifolia) specifically for the direct treatment of dizziness or vertigo in humans. Most of the available literature pertains to animal studies examining anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects, but these do not directly address dizziness as a symptom or condition. Therefore, the use of Arani for dizziness is primarily justified by tradition, with weak and indirect evidence, and lacks contemporary scientific validation for this specific indication.
