Introduction
If dizziness is caused by mild poor blood circulation or mild invasion of wind-cold-damp pathogenic factors, the blood-activating and stasis-resolving effects, as well as the wind-dispelling and dampness-removing properties of geranium (Geranium wilfordii), may help alleviate these symptoms. For cases of mild dizziness caused by external contraction of wind-cold, geranium's mild nature can assist in expelling cold and dampness from the body, thereby providing certain adjunctive therapeutic benefits.
Geranium is usually effective for dizziness caused by wind-cold-damp pathogenic factors. However, if dizziness is caused by other factors, Geranium may have limited therapeutic effects.
If dizziness is due to mild poor blood circulation or mild invasion of wind-cold-damp pathogenic factors, Geranium's functions of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and dispelling wind-damp may help alleviate these symptoms. For mild dizziness caused by external contraction of wind-cold, Geranium's mild nature can help expel cold and dampness from the body, thus providing certain auxiliary therapeutic benefits.
Dizziness may be caused by various factors, such as hypertension, hypoglycemia, anemia, etc. For dizziness caused by these conditions, Geranium may not be effective. Before using Geranium, it is important to identify the specific cause of dizziness to enable targeted treatment. In addition to medication, treatment for dizziness also includes rest, dietary adjustments, maintaining physical activity, and other approaches. These methods can complement pharmacological treatment and enhance therapeutic effectiveness.
Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular作息 (作息 means作息 time or rest patterns, but doesn't translate directly—could be "regular作息" or "consistent rest patterns"), balanced diet, and moderate exercise, can also help prevent and relieve dizziness.
