Synopsis

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

Essential oil blends have been used traditionally to support symptoms associated with chills, often as part of folk remedies or complementary therapies. Commonly used essential oils in such blends include eucalyptus, peppermint, ginger, and rosemary, which are believed to have warming properties or to promote circulation. The rationale behind their use typically involves topical application (such as massage) or inhalation, aiming to provide a sensation of warmth or comfort to the body. However, the evidence for their effectiveness is largely anecdotal and based on historical uses rather than robust scientific validation.

There is a lack of clinical studies specifically investigating the efficacy of essential oil blends for treating or relieving chills. While some individual components of essential oils may have mild vasodilatory or warming effects when applied to the skin, there is insufficient data to support their use for chills that result from underlying medical conditions (such as infection or fever). Most recommendations for their use are found in traditional medicine texts or holistic health practices, often emphasizing their role in enhancing comfort rather than directly treating the underlying cause of chills. Therefore, while essential oil blends are rooted in tradition for this purpose, scientific support remains minimal.
