Rating (out of 5): 1

Sagebrush refers to several species in the Artemisia genus, most commonly Artemisia tridentata in North America. Its use in addressing dizziness is rooted primarily in traditional medicine among Native American groups and other indigenous peoples. In ethnobotanical records, sagebrush has been used as a general remedy for a variety of ailments, often as a tea or inhaled as smoke. Reports exist of sagebrush being applied for symptoms such as headaches, colds, and sometimes for conditions described as "weakness" or "faintness," which may overlap with what is now called dizziness. However, the references to dizziness are not always direct or clearly defined in historical sources.

There is little scientific evidence to support the use of sagebrush for treating dizziness. Modern research on Artemisia species has focused primarily on antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiparasitic properties, not on neurological effects such as vertigo or dizziness. No clinical studies have specifically evaluated sagebrush for this indication. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for its use in treating symptoms that could include dizziness, the strength of evidence is weak, and it is not supported by robust scientific validation.
