Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) has been used in traditional medicine systems for a variety of ailments, but its use to treat or support recovery from “chills” is primarily rooted in folk and Ayurvedic traditions. In these contexts, chills are often associated with fevers, malaise, or the onset of infections. Traditional healers have recommended Bermuda Grass juice or decoctions as a cooling agent and as a general tonic, sometimes including it in remedies for feverish states or chills.
However, there is limited written documentation specifically linking Bermuda Grass to the treatment of chills apart from its broader reputation as a remedy for fever and its reputed ability to “cool” the body. No high-quality clinical trials or pharmacological studies have substantiated its effectiveness for chills, and most modern herbal references do not list it as a standard treatment for this symptom. Therefore, the evidence supporting its use for chills is based on tradition rather than scientific validation, and even within tradition, the link is indirect and not robustly documented.
