Synopsis

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

Atlantic Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) has been referenced in various traditional medicinal systems, particularly in North Africa and parts of the Mediterranean, for its purported therapeutic uses. The use of Atlantic Cedar specifically for "chills" appears to be rooted in traditional herbal practices rather than scientific research. In traditional contexts, "chills" often referred to symptoms associated with fever, malaria, or general malaise, and various cedar preparations—such as essential oils or decoctions—were sometimes used for their warming and aromatic properties. However, the historical references are sparse and often generalized, with cedar more commonly used for respiratory ailments, skin conditions, or as an antiseptic rather than explicitly for chills.

There is a lack of robust clinical or pharmacological studies validating the efficacy of Atlantic Cedar in the treatment or alleviation of chills. Modern scientific literature does not provide substantive evidence supporting its use for this condition. Therefore, while there is some minor traditional precedent, the evidence base is extremely limited and not specific or strong. Anyone considering the use of Atlantic Cedar for chills should be aware that its efficacy is not scientifically established, and its traditional use is only loosely documented.
