Rating (out of 5): 1

Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri), also known as Brahmi, is a well-known herb in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, primarily used for enhancing cognitive function, reducing anxiety, and supporting overall brain health. Its use for treating or supporting chills, however, is not prominent in scientific literature or modern herbal pharmacopeias. In traditional Indian medicine, Bacopa is sometimes included in polyherbal formulations that are recommended for a variety of fevers and ailments, which could be associated with chills, but its direct use for chills specifically is not well-documented. The rationale in these cases is typically based on Bacopa’s perceived adaptogenic and tonic properties, rather than a targeted effect on chills or temperature regulation.

Scientific research on Bacopa centers almost entirely on its effects on cognition, neuroprotection, and stress reduction. There is a lack of clinical trials or mechanistic studies investigating Bacopa’s effect on chills, thermoregulation, or fever. Thus, any support for its use against chills is rooted in traditional practices, and even there, it is indirect or secondary. The evidence rating is low (1) due to the absence of direct historical emphasis or scientific confirmation. Anyone considering Bacopa for chills should consult a healthcare provider and note that more suitable remedies may exist for this specific symptom.
