Synopsis

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

Angelica archangelica, commonly known as angelica, has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine. Historically, it was employed as a remedy for a variety of ailments, including symptoms associated with chills, such as those seen in fevers and colds. The roots and seeds were often used in decoctions or teas to "warm" the body and stimulate circulation, which was believed to help counteract chills. This use is documented in several old herbal texts and pharmacopoeias, such as Culpeper's Herbal and other materia medica from the Renaissance period. However, there is little to no modern scientific research specifically validating the efficacy of Angelica archangelica for treating chills. Most contemporary research focuses on other properties, such as its potential antimicrobial, digestive, or anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, while its use for chills is rooted in tradition, it lacks strong scientific evidence. The rating reflects the presence of documented traditional use, but not substantiated by clinical trials or modern pharmacological studies.
