Synopsis

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

Sesbania, a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, has been used in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in Asia and Africa. Among its reputed uses, Sesbania species (such as Sesbania grandiflora) have been employed in folk remedies to treat fevers and associated symptoms, including chills. The rationale in traditional medicine is often based on the plant’s purported antipyretic (fever-reducing) and anti-inflammatory properties. For instance, in some parts of India and Southeast Asia, decoctions made from the leaves or flowers are given to reduce fever, and by extension, may help alleviate chills which commonly accompany febrile illnesses.

However, the evidence supporting Sesbania’s efficacy for chills is primarily anecdotal and based on ethnobotanical reports. There is minimal direct scientific research validating its use specifically for chills. Some animal studies suggest mild antipyretic activity, but these findings are preliminary and do not directly address chills as a separate symptom. Thus, while traditional usage exists, robust scientific validation is lacking, and the available evidence is weak.

In summary, the use of Sesbania for chills is rooted in tradition, with a low level of supporting evidence and no substantial clinical research confirming its effectiveness for this condition.
