Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Botanical blends have historically been used in various traditional medicine systems to address chills, which are often seen as symptoms of imbalances in the body, particularly in relation to "cold" conditions or the initial stages of illnesses like the flu. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), for example, combinations of warming herbs such as ginger, cinnamon twig, and others are included in formulas to "release the exterior" and dispel wind-cold, thereby alleviating chills. Similar practices can be found in Ayurveda and Western herbalism, where warming botanicals are thought to stimulate circulation and encourage sweating, helping the body recover from chills associated with fevers or infections. However, while these uses are well-documented in historical texts and remain common in folk remedies, there is limited clinical research directly validating the efficacy of such blends for treating chills specifically. Most supporting evidence is anecdotal or based on the physiological actions of individual herbs rather than robust clinical trials. Therefore, while the use of botanical blends for chills is rooted in traditional knowledge, scientific validation is lacking, and the evidence base is primarily historical rather than experimental.
