Synopsis

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

Angelica (Angelica archangelica) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Europe and Asia, for a variety of ailments, including chills. In historical herbal texts, Angelica was often recommended as a warming herb thought to stimulate circulation and dispel coldness from the body. Traditional European herbalists believed that chills were caused by an imbalance of bodily humors or exposure to cold, and Angelica, with its aromatic and warming properties, was used in teas, tinctures, and infusions to "warm the blood" and counteract the sensation of coldness or chills.

Despite this traditional use, there is little to no modern scientific evidence specifically supporting Angelica’s efficacy for treating chills as a symptom. Most research on Angelica focuses on its potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive benefits rather than thermogenic or warming effects. Thus, its use for chills remains rooted in historical and folkloric practices rather than in validated clinical research. The evidence rating of 2 reflects the existence of a strong traditional precedent, but a lack of robust scientific validation for this specific indication.
