Synopsis

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

Ginseng, Oriental (Panax ginseng) has a long history of use in traditional East Asian medicine, where it is employed as a general tonic for energy and vitality, and sometimes used to address symptoms such as dizziness or weakness, especially in elderly patients or those recovering from illness. The traditional rationale is based on the concept of "tonifying Qi" (vital energy), which practitioners believe can help stabilize conditions like dizziness that are attributed to deficiency states.

However, scientific studies specifically evaluating the efficacy of Oriental ginseng for the treatment of dizziness are limited. Some research suggests that ginseng may improve cognitive function, fatigue, and overall well-being, and there is limited evidence that it might improve circulation, which could theoretically help with dizziness related to low blood pressure or fatigue. Yet, these findings are indirect, and there is no high-quality clinical trial evidence directly supporting ginseng’s use for dizziness as a primary endpoint.

In summary, the use of Oriental ginseng for dizziness is primarily traditional, with weak indirect scientific support at best. It remains a remedy rooted in historical practice rather than modern clinical validation for this specific indication.
