Rating (out of 5): 1

Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) has a history of use in European folk medicine for a variety of purposes, including as a diaphoretic (to induce sweating) and for the treatment of fevers and chills. Traditional herbalists believed the plant could help "break" fevers and alleviate chills by promoting perspiration. References to its use for chills can be found in older herbal texts, such as those by Nicholas Culpeper and in various ethnobotanical records from Europe. However, scientific studies validating the efficacy of Hemp Agrimony for chills are lacking. The plant contains compounds such as sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoids, but their effects on chills or fever have not been specifically investigated in clinical settings. Additionally, some concerns exist regarding the potential toxicity of pyrrolizidine alkaloids found in the plant, which may limit its safety for medicinal use. In summary, while there is a traditional foundation for using Hemp Agrimony for chills, modern scientific evidence is absent, and the practice is largely rooted in historical usage rather than validated pharmacological data.
