Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Herbal blends, often composed of ingredients like ginger, cinnamon, and other warming herbs, have traditionally been used in many cultures to address symptoms such as chills, particularly those associated with the onset of colds, fevers, or exposure to cold environments. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), for example, herbal formulas such as Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) are used to "release the exterior" and treat chills, mild fever, and aversion to wind by warming the body and promoting circulation. Similarly, in Western herbalism, herbs with warming properties are believed to stimulate circulation and help the body generate heat, making them a common traditional remedy for chills. However, scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of herbal blends specifically for the treatment of chills is limited. Most available research focuses on individual herbs rather than proprietary blends, and these studies often examine broader symptoms such as fever or cold management rather than chills alone. While some herbs like ginger have demonstrated mild thermogenic effects in small studies, robust clinical trials validating the efficacy of herbal blends for chills are lacking. In summary, the use of herbal blends for chills is primarily rooted in traditional medicine systems, with limited direct scientific validation.
