Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Lodhtree (Symplocos racemosa), known as "Lodhra" in Ayurvedic medicine, has a long history of use in traditional Indian systems for a variety of ailments. Its primary applications have been for gynecological disorders, wound healing, and as an astringent. In the context of treating or supporting chills, there is limited reference in classical Ayurvedic texts and ethnobotanical sources suggesting its use. The rationale behind its use for chills, when mentioned, is typically based on its perceived effects on balancing "doshas" and supporting the body's resilience, rather than any direct antipyretic or thermogenic properties. There is currently no robust scientific evidence validating its effectiveness specifically for chills. No clinical trials or pharmacological studies have directly evaluated Lodhtree for this purpose. The use for chills, when cited, is therefore best categorized under traditional practice, supported by anecdotal or historical references rather than empirical research. Given the lack of direct evidence, the strength of support for its use in chills is quite low.
