Chenopodium album, commonly known as lamb's quarters or bathua, has a longstanding history in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and folk medicine in South Asia. Traditional healers have used various parts of the plant for ailments such as digestive complaints, fever, and chills. The use of Chenopodium album specifically for chills is primarily rooted in its reputation as a general remedy for fevers and related symptoms, which often include chills. In these systems, the plant is sometimes prepared as a decoction or infusion, believed to "balance" the body's internal temperature and promote sweating, thereby alleviating chills associated with febrile illnesses.

However, there is minimal scientific research directly investigating the effects of Chenopodium album on chills. Most available studies focus on its nutritional value, antioxidant activity, and some antimicrobial properties, but do not address its efficacy for chills or fever management. Thus, while its use for chills is documented in ethnobotanical and traditional texts, there is a lack of rigorous clinical or pharmacological evidence to support this application. The evidence rating is therefore low, reflecting the predominance of tradition over scientific validation for this specific use.
