Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Aromatherapy has traditionally been used in various cultures to address symptoms like chills, which are often associated with conditions such as colds, fever, or general malaise. Essential oils extracted from aromatic plants—such as eucalyptus, ginger, or peppermint—have been applied in folk medicine to promote warmth, stimulate circulation, and provide a sense of comfort. The rationale is that certain aromatic oils may possess warming properties or help relax the body, thereby alleviating the sensation of chills. However, scientific studies specifically evaluating the efficacy of aromatherapy or essential oils for treating chills are scarce. Most evidence remains anecdotal or based on traditional use rather than rigorous clinical trials. While there is some research suggesting that inhalation of certain essential oils can have mild effects on mood and perceived well-being, there is little direct scientific validation for their effectiveness in managing chills themselves. Thus, while aromatherapy continues to be used in some traditional and complementary medicine settings for this purpose, its use for chills is supported mainly by historical practices rather than robust scientific evidence.
