Synopsis

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

The use of "Huang Hua" (which can refer to several yellow-flowered plants in Chinese medicine, but most commonly denotes Chrysanthemum morifolium or Hemerocallis fulva) to treat chills is primarily rooted in traditional practice rather than modern scientific validation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), chills are often associated with external wind-cold invasions, and various herbs are chosen to "release the exterior" and dispel cold. Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua, which is sometimes called Huang Hua) is more widely recognized for treating symptoms like fever, headache, and eye discomfort linked to wind-heat, rather than chills caused by wind-cold. However, some regional or folk traditions may attribute warming or harmonizing effects to "Huang Hua," especially if referring to other species or preparations. There is sparse scientific literature directly supporting the use of "Huang Hua" for chills. Modern pharmacological studies on Chrysanthemum focus on its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, but not specifically on its effects for treating chills or cold-induced symptoms. Overall, the rationale for using Huang Hua for chills is based on traditional herbal theory, with limited evidence from clinical trials or biomedical research.
